If your main form already contains the ID of the member, why don't you
use the member ID as a filter criteria for your email form ?

In form edit mode of your email subform, click on the form properties
button, and then click on the three dots button to the right of the
Filter field. This opens a filter dialog, where you can enter a Named
Parameter for your filter, e.g.

MemberID = :ID

If you then save this Filter criteria, you will notice that the Filter
field has been filled. You can then quit the Form Properties dialog and
save your form.

When you open your email subform, you will be asked to provide the ID of
the member and the form will filter the results on the basis of that ID.

For this, you probably need to go and check out the OOo users forum and
ask your question there, this kind of question has been asked there many
times before and will probably require a macro.
