I have a main form that has a field called "product code" and a button. When I click the button, it opens another form with the details of the "product code." When I fill in the field "product code" on the main form, I want the same code to show up in the details form without me having to retype the same code. Thanks for your help.

In the On Open event of the second form put code similar to this:

Me.ProdCode = [Forms]![FirstFormName]![ProdCodeFieldName]

Do not close the first form or this will not work. If you do close the first form then search help for the OpenArgs argument....

Thanks! The code worked but I put it in the on enter event of the Product code field in the second form because when i had it in the on open event of the second form it was giving me an error.
