I would like for a user to click on a contract number in a dataset and have it open a form using a filter on the contract number. Is this possible?

I have a form that displays all the contract details and the key filed in "contract ID". I have a dataset the user views all their contracts assigned to them with a column for contractID. If a user wants to see more details on that contract I want them to be able to just click on the contract number.

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
It most definitely is possible.

Try adding a command button to the form listing the contracts.

Access should guide you via a wizard to create code to open a form.

You can then adapt this code to open the form according to the ID.
