I think your problem goes to the data schema. It appears that you have separate fields in your Notes table for each type of ID and this is going to make your life difficult in the long run. If Notes can be a child of more than one table, then you need a compound key of the foreign key (ID) and the source of the ID. So, instead of having Notes.idis_sysid and Notes.iPub_sysid, you need to have Notes.FK_sysid and Notes.FKSource. FK_sysid would be the pub_sysID or dis_sysid and FKSource wouldbe "Supplier" or "Distributor". Then, your Notes form could be called with a parameter indicating the source, that parameter is stored to a form property (call it cNoteSource) and the view becomes:

SELECT * FROM notes WHERE notes.fksource = THISFORM.cNoteSource AND notes.FK_sysID = ?ParentPKValue.
