field in a form match another field in another form

Guest

I would like to open a form and enter new data, say in a "name" field, then
with a command button that opens another form (which I got that working)
containing the same "name" field automaticly have the same entered data in
the first form, so that I don't have to re-type it. Thanks in advance Hope
this makes sense

While it is possible to do this, using the expression
Forms!YourFormName!YourControlName, it may not be necessary. Can you
describe why you want to have the same value in two different forms, and
which tables those forms are based on?

Thank you for the responce. Okay so where would I put the expression? I guess
I want to have the same value just as a reference so that I make sure that
when entering additional data like "quantities" on the second form, it
corresponce to the right say "customer". The forms come from the same table.

If both forms are based on the same table, depending on what you want to
accomplish, you may not need to use two forms. If you have "additional
data", consider using the Tab control. This allows you to have one form
with multiple "tabs" (i.e., pages).
