Populating Values from one form to another

[Guest]

Please help!

I'm trying to get the value from one unbound calculated field in "Accounts
Receivable" form and populate it to another field in the "Order Entry" form.
Both of these forms have two different tables as its recordsource.

When entering a payment in the "Accounts Receivable" form, the amount is
sometimes over or under what the actual amount due is. For example: We get
a $25.00 payment from Customer A who's invoice amount is $20.00, thus a $5.00
credit which shows up as a negative number. Another scenario would be a
$25.00 payment for an invoice amount of $30.00, thus a $5.00 debit which
shows up as a positive number. And, of course, we do get payments for the
exact amount due.

When Customer A places another order, we want the credit or debit amount to
automatically pull up in it's respective field (Credit or Debit) in the
"Order Entry" form, so that the value in one of those fields will be included
in the "Amount Due" field. How can I make this work?

Thanks for any assistance,
Nyla

Hi, Nyla.

I'm trying to get the value from one unbound calculated field in "Accounts
Receivable" form and populate it to another field in the "Order Entry" form.

If the unbound calculated control on the "Accounts Receivable" form were a
text box named txtBalance, then the following line in the Control Source
Property of the unbound control in the "Order Entry" form would work:

=[Forms]![Accounts Receivable]![txtBalance]

The caveat is that the "Accounts Receivable" form must be open and the
"Order Entry" form must be filtered on the record displayed in the "Accounts
Receivable" form. If any other records are available for the user to cycle
through on the "Order Entry" form, then all of them would show the balance
for the customer indicated on the "Accounts Receivable" form, which might not
be applicable.

HTH.
