On a Form, I have a button to open a different form based on the current URN displayed. The code is below:

Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_01", , , "[Company URN] = " & Me![Company URN]
End Sub

This code works but everytime a user clicks on it, an 'Enter Paramater Box' appears. It displays the current URN and they need to copy the URN into the box. The image below may help understand... In this example, I have tried to open a form to the URN 'TESTURN123'. To open the form, I need to enter the exact URN into the box.

Is there a way of preventing this (what seems to be a validation step)?
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
You are passing the filter this: [Company URN] = TESTURN123

So your form is not interpreting the TESTURN123 as a string.

Try this:

Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_01", , , "[Company URN] = " &  "'" & Me![Company URN] & "'"

Which should evaluate to: [Company URN] = 'TESTURN123'
