Open forms based on criteria

Hi

I have 3 forms "Work_in_progress", "Installations" and Warranty".

Form "Work_in_progress" is a continuous form that displays uncompleted
work, each line has a control "Update" when pressed it opens form
"Installations" which until recently was fine. We have now secured a contract
to carryout warranty repairs, which requires a different form to be completed
("Warranty").

The 3 forms has "Tbl_Customers" as their control source which has a field
"Job_Type" this would contain the following data "Installations or Warranty".

What I would like to achieve is that when the control "Update" is pressed it
will open either of the forms "Installations" or "Warranty" based on the data
in "Tbl_Customers" field "Job_Type".

Example -- When field "Job_Type" = "Warranty" form "Warranty" is opened

I have searched through the posts but cannot find a solution.

Can someone provide an answer.

Thanks
Bazmac

You need to change the recordsource of the form to a query in order to add
the Job_Type to the form. Then you need to branch the code with an If ...
Then ... Else statement or a Select Case statement. Here's an aircode
snippet:

If Me.txtJob_Type = "Installantion" Then ' or the Job_TypeID
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1",,, "JobID = " & Me.txtJobID
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2",,, "JobID = " & Me.txtJobID
End If
