Pre-populate field on dialog form

[AdamFeerst]

How do I populate a text field on a dialog form to the value of a filed on the calling form?

You could make its control source equal to the field on the calling form something like:

=Forms!thenameofthecallingformname!thenameofthetextboxonthecallingform

as long as the calling form remains open

The dialog form can be called from different forms.

You could set a tempvar with the value of the text box in the calling forms' open form and retrieve it in the dialog's form load.

Not working. Me.FileName = tFileName

According to http://www.iaccessworld.com/how-to-set-temporary-value-tempvars/ that should be more like

Me.FileName = TempVars!tFileName

I suggest you take a look at that web site.
