    <p>OK, I'm a total VBA noob, so excuse my awful code.</p> <p>I have two excel worksheets, one titled 'Contractors' and one titled 'Referring_to_Contractors'.</p> <p>The contractors sheet is laid out like so.</p> <p>Terr ContractorID First Last<br> 1 7 Bob Smith<br> 2 5 Jeff Brown<br> 3 8 Stan Lee</p> <p>The Referring_to_Contractors sheet has the same fields and layout as the Contractors sheet above, but also has additional columns for Referring Contractors, so it has columns titled "Ref_Contractor_Id", "Ref_First", "Ref_Last", etc.</p> <p>What I'm trying to do is use VBA so that when someone double clicks a row in the "Contractors" sheet, it will take the value in the Contractor_ID column, then look in the "Referring_to_Contractors" sheet and filter by all records in that sheet that have that value as Contractor_ID. Essentially, this would display referral information for the Contractor_ID clicked on the first sheet. I created a named range for the Contractor_ID field titled "PrimaryContractor"</p> <p>So, on the first sheet 'Contractors', I have: </p> <pre><code>Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) End Sub </code></pre> <p>and..</p> <pre><code>Sub Select_Ref_Contractors() ContractorId = Range("PrimaryContractor").Value With Sheets("Referring_to_Contractors") .Visible = True .Select End With ActiveSheet.Range("$B$10:$N$44163).AutoFilter Field: =1, Criteria1:= ContractorID Application.Goto Range("A1"), True End Sub </code></pre> <p>Conceptually this seems like it should be pretty simple yet for some reason I can't get the second sheet to filter correctly.</p> <p>Any helps or even useful links would be greatly appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
