You are also not referring to the form correctly. If this code is in frmPCSTracker then all you need is Remarks="Whatever" and if in another form forms!frmPCSTracker.Remarks="Whatever" you might find this link useful as a reference when referring to controls http://access.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm
