How to refer to a control on another form?

[moto485]

I have a pop up form and want the value of say txtName to be transfered to the the main form that is open call it FrontPage with a control called txtFrontPageName

I have seen people saying to do something like this "Form.FrontPage.txtFrontPageName" to refer to a control, this does not work.
I can't figure it out?

You got the result you wanted. That is the main thing.

Good luck with the project.
