Both forms must be open. In the click event of the button put:

Me.UnboundFld1 = Forms!OtherFormName!Fld1
Me.UnboundFld2 = Forms!OtherFormName!Fld2

Reasons that this might not be working for you,
1. The other form is a subform in which case the syntax would be - Forms!OtherMainForm!OtherSubForm.Form!Fld1
2. The other form is a continuous form or datasheet and no current record is selected.
