OK thanks for replying. Here's some more detail:
I have a contacts form with a subform.
From the Marketing Options subform, I wish to open a report, but only one
record based on the OptionID within the subform. I have a control button that
runs the code below. It works when the form is open on it's own and not
imbheedded in the Contacts Form as a subform. When I use the control button

in the subform, it calls for me to enter the OptionID .. it then opens the
report with the correct data. I would prefer not to have to enter the
OptionID. So hope this is clearer ... it works just fine on its own but not
when it in the subform.
Cheers and thanks,
John
