Let's say I ask a question to somebody, and that person tells me to ask somebody else who is more likely to have the answer.

What would I tell that other person to let him know about this?

Would "Mike forwarded me to you" be ok? To me that sounds like it refers more to the person, and not to the question. What is the most common way of handling this?
