Openform Example Download

In this downloadable Access database example we show you how to setup the docmd.openform method in Access Visual Basic.  Additionally we demonstrate how to set and read the open arguments option of the docmd.openform method.

The example involves a simple Access inventory database.  The form contains a field for the General Contractor (GC).  We have added a Double click event to the GC combo box field.  If the user double clicks on the GC field then a new form opens displaying the detailed information for the selected general contractor.  The VB code also demonstrates how to filter records with the openargs command line options.

Here is a snapshot of the database with the GC details screen opened after double clicking:
