Update a pop-up form with a field from a main form (1 Viewer)

[Lily]

Hello,

I created a pop-up form linked to a main form using the main form's AID_# (primary key). I was wondering how and if I could fill the AID_# field on the pop-up form so that I don't mistakenly type the wrong number entering it manually. The AID_# on the pop-up form is the first field in the tab order. So should it be an "on exit" event or "on enter"? The main form is called AAC_Listing and the pop-form is called Pubs_details but I am not sure how to correctly "write" this in code. I tried one from a previous post but it returned an error message (as per my usual lack of skill at this...). Well thanking you all very much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

If this may be of help to anyone else....I included a second column in the combo box for the AID #. Then set an after update event to show the AID # in the AID # field on the pop-up form:

Private Sub Combo106_AfterUpdate()
Me![AID #] = Me![Combo106].Column(1)
End Sub

Thank you though for all your help on my other posts...and I was able to figure this one out from searching other topics like this at your site, so thanks to all.
