I'm sure this has been well covered here but it's tough getting 
through thousands of past questions or the MS site. I'm a new member 
and new to Access apps though I did some VB programming many years 
ago.

I want to have a List object in a form that shows the entire contents 
of a table (Datasheet view). I already have this form done. I want 
the user to be able to double-click on one record and then bring up 
full details of that record in ANOTHER form (also this form has been 
designed) where the data can then be updated further. I know where to 
go to enter code into teh doubleclick method of the control, I think.

In the old days (a la Foxpro or DBase) this would be a simple matter 
of recording the "current record number" and passing it a procedure 
to manipulate the data. What I want to do is save the "record number" 
and pass it to the new form so that the form will be positioned 
correctly on the proper record (or row). I sort-of understand 
concepts like methods and properties. I know that there is an 
FormOpen and FormActivate method for example but it's the problem of 
passing info (e.g. pointers to particular rows) that's confusing me. 
The table is indexed with a field of unique sequential integers but 
not auto-numbered. Any help would be appreciated.
