Hi everyone -

I am attempting to pass a parameter to a child form, but havne't typed in the correct code to make it happen.

I have a form called "orders", which has a command button called called ASSIGN CONTACT on it. When I click on that, up pops my "office_assignments" form.

But, the office_id of the "offices" form isn't placed into the office_id textbox of the "office_assignments" form.

**Note: the two tables are joined one to many by a field called>>
nofficeid


A developer on UT earlier today gave me some good instruction on how to accomplish this, but I have been unsuccessful. He said to create a private data session for my "office_assignments" form, and in the init event, place:

lparameters tcOfficeId
=seek(tcOfficeId,"mytable","myOfficeIdTag")

I took that to mean the following:

lparameters tcOfficeId
=seek(tcOfficeId,"offices","nofficeid")

but that didn't work.


I don't see where I am defining tcOfficeId (b/c that doesn't exist), and setting that equal to something. Am I missing a line of code for my init event?

Should it read>

lparameters tcOfficeId
tcOfficeId = offices.norderid && or office_assignments.norderid
=seek(tcOfficeId,"offices","offices.norderid")


If anyone sees my "ugly" mistake and can direct me further towards the finish line, I would appreciate very much!

TIA

Jason
