Syntax-reference to pages

[AmyLynnHill]

Greetings,
I'm having a problem getting the syntax correct when referring to a field on a page/tab.

The database is set up with 3 pages, there is a main page(frmMain) and two other pages with subforms(frmLetter, frmVoid) linked to the main form.

On the subform(frmVoid) in the default value property of check number field, I have the following syntax,
Forms![frmMain]![CheckNumber]

I want the check number field on the frmMain to populate on the frmVoid, check number field. it is not working. I think it has something to do with the pages?

any suggestions?

When you say "pages" do you mean on a tab control? If so, there is no special syntax required to refer to something on one, it is as if it doesn't exist and the other control is on the regular form.
