I have an opening screen form and then there are 3 forms
you can access from this opening form (with a control
button). I would like the reference number in the opening
form to automatically give the same number to one of the
other forms when you have opened it up.
 
Hi,
If you are using DoCmd.OpenForm
to open your other forms, you can use the OpenArgs
argument to pass a value to the form you're opening.

Look up OpenForm in Help.
