Easy Drill Through with Macros
This tip comes from Tim Getsch - from www.checkoutmycards.com. He wrote to me after seeing my recent post about Display As Hyperlink: There is the trick that I use for creating hyperlink navigation. Create an Access (not VBA) macro with a short name (e.g. dt for Drill Through) Add named macros for each of the things you commonly want to drill to Contact: OpenForm “Contacts”, WhereCondition: ="[ID]=" & Screen.ActiveControl Orders: OpenForm “Orders”, WhereCondition: ="[OrderID]=" & Screen.ActiveControl ProductByID: RunCode MySpecialOpenForm([ProductID]) … When you want a hyperlink simply do the following Set Display As Hyperlink to Screen Only Flip to the Events tab of the property sheet and put the cursor in the On Click event >Type “dt.” (You get auto-complete with all of your named macros in the dt macro group.) Click the dropdown if you want to see the complete list of named macros. Select the macro you want. This really makes navigation much more manageable. Tim <div
