field from another form

[halem2]

Hi All:

running MS Access 2003. I have two forms: a login form and form B.
The login form has two fields: User and Password. When the user logs in, I hide the login form and open another form. How can I refer to the login name on the login form from another form? In other words, I need to display the login name from the hidden form in form B.

Thanks

I'll bet this link will be of some help.

thanks for the prompt reply. I've been messing with the forms!fieldName format a little and your link confirmed my rookie suspicions. Now, does it matter if the form I'm reading the info from is hidden?

Nope! It just need to be open.
