Issue with text box on a subform of a form linking to another form (1 Viewer)

[jjake]

Hello,

I have a form [Frm1] with a text box [ID1]

I have a button [cmd1] that opens [frm2]

On [frm2] i have a subform [subfrm1]

My goal is to click on the button which opens [subfrm1] and displays [id1] from [frm1] on the subform.

Basically i have a form with information on it and i click a button to open a pop up with a form to add extra information tied to [id1]. When i generate a report it will take information from both [frm1] and [subfrm1]

Thanks.

See if this link helps you work out the syntax: http://access.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm

you can reference an open form like so.
Forms![formName]!formcontrol
