Help with updating text boxes on 2 different forms

[SD23]

I have similar text boxes on two different forms. On the first form when I add a value and click the add button it automatically submits that value to the second form. However, on the second form when I select a value and click add, it deletes the previous value given by the first form. I have written code that allows the user to input more than one value on the second form, which works fine.(The previous values do not get deleted) I want to write some code that allows the user to submit a value on the first form, and that value remains on the second form's text box even when the user adds more values on the second form. Also the values are inputted to a table.

One previous suggestions was to put field2=field1 & field 2. However this does not work.

Any suggestions would be a of great help. I am pretty new at Microsoft Access. Thanks for the help

Have you tried using an unbound TextBox on the second form and combine the entry with that coming from the first form in the BeforeUpdate event of the second form. You could display the data from the first form in a bound and locked and disabled TextBox on the second form to add clarity for the user.
