One option is to create queries.
for query A, set your criteria for qurery A.
same for the rest of the queries
display each query in a form (A,B,C,....)

Then in the form, create buttons (A, B, C, D,etc.....)
Private Sub A_Click()

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "formA"
DoCmd.Openform stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

End Sub

Or you can do it dynamically,

Cheers

These indexing i want to do in a single form, rather than open seprate forms for each buttons.

I have never done it myself and I don't have code for it but I think you can create few variable for each of your text boxes that you want to display information, and run sql statement and display those information in the text boxes for each of the button.

hope it helps

Hi,

So you can change the recordset property of your form..

In your A click even procedure you can write

Me.recordset=AQ uery

And so on..

Pardon

Me.recordset="A Query"

Wouldn't it make more sense to use a single query, and pass the letter as a parameter? Or insert it into the query dynamically? Having 26 separate queries seems cumbersome.

Sure that it's better!

However if he has done 28 queries, why to say that his work isn't usefull?

Hey,

On click property of the respective bouton you choose event procedure...

If you visualize in subform datasheet your query type

Me![Your Subform].Form.recordset ="AQuery"

Change Your Subform with the name of your subform
"AQuery" with the name of your query that invokes the names with A

And all this for the buton A the same thing for the others butons
