VBA to look through table and find record that two fields have certain criteria
Hello,
I have a form that i need to display a record on open.
This record is from a table with a column "ID" There maybe duplicate ID numbers but i need the code to find the ID and if the "servicecode" field has certain text ("Discount" for instance) then to show that record. I tried the following but I have got something wrong as it does not search for the combination.
If invs!ID = Forms!InvoiceAlterView!Inv
Have I explained this....????

Thanks for your quick reply.
That still does not find the record, however I think there is a more fundamental error in my process.
I will have to review it and repost.

I actually think the stem of this problem is that Forms!InvoiceAlterView!Inv
If you are using a continuous form to open records on a different form, the continuous form MUST include the uniqueID of the records it is displaying. Otherwise, how will you get the other form to open to the record you want?
<when I am doing my IF statement it is finding the first INVDETAILID on the form not necessarily the record that I have clicked on.... >
try saving the Record information to variables after you have selected the record, then refer to this variables in your IF statement..
what version of access are you using?
