How to filter a From by passing a value from another form
I have 2 forms
Form 1: [frm_DE_VacancyDatabase] and Form2: [frm_CY_NY_Change].
Now Form 2 has 2000 records, but I want to filter it our by the [id] passed from Form 1.
So I did the code on Form2.Open event. But seems do not work, still shows 2000+ records.
I attached my code (form open and form load), please help, thanks.

Where's your code that opens the second form? I'd use the WHERE condition in the 4th argument of the OpenForm command or macro.

I have tried the solution.
On the form 1-> Openform 2 button, I have the click event with the code I attached, but still does not work.
Is anything wrong with my code?

Sorry, I don't intend to waste anyone's time giving duplicate answers. It's just that when I looked at the question, it had been sitting there for about 20 minutes, unanswered. It seems that in the minute or two it took me to type in a 1 sentence answer and press submit, 30 minutes of time on the EE clock had transpired. Occasionally, EE seems to exist in a time warp.

in most cases the "Filter" does not work as expected.
