i have a form with many command buttons tied to list boxes. one of these list boxes allows the user to multi select email addresses and after pressing the corresponding command button places these email addresses into a different text box. another list box as multiple options in it where the user then selects another command button to place these selections into the subject text box. i then have a subform in place, that shares the same record source as the main form, along with locked text boxes in it that are "cloned" of unlocked text boxes on the main form. while in the main form the user must type values into the "cloned" text fields and after they have filled out every "cloned" field the user must click yet another command button that moves these typed values into the corresponding text boxes within the subform. problem is that when the user clicks on the command button after filling in the text boxes, it clears all of the previously inputed values in the "To:" "Cc:" and "Subject" fields. i don't see anythign in the codes that would clear the before mentioned fields. kinda confusing...
