ok, I am creating an interface that is goign on a touch screen. This
interface is going to scan in a bag number and the wieght (or mass) of the
bag which is usually 2000lbs. There are several options that they can take.
One of them is if the person operating the forklift happens to spill or
damage the bag they need to re-wiegh the bag in put in the new mass. I have a
button the is called change wieght that sets visible two buttons for
why(spilled and damaged). After they choose one a sperate form comes up that
looks like a calculator and they punch in the value of the new weight. This
new weight should change the value on the first interface. I've doen this
because their is not going to be a keyboard to punch in values.
Right now the code for the enter button on the calcualteris:
Forms![FormName]![tbMass] = Me.tbValuetoEnter
Docmd.Close
This results in an error that says that Forms![FormName]![tbMass] = <Object
Required>
Does anyone know how to help, I really need this to work. Thank you.

This results in an error that says that Forms![FormName]![tbMass] = <Object

Required>

The name of the form that scans in the weights is "FormName" ???? Really???
And when the calculator form is open, does the first form stay open???

No, the form's name is not FormName it was just that my boss was in the room
and he don't like me telling things like that for some reason. And yes the
first form stays open.
