Import value from one form to another

[vCallNSPF]

I have three forms.



One is for a piece of equipment with all of its information, eg. location, frequency, type, id number etc.

The second is for tests on that piece of equipment.

The third is for calculating whether the battery needs to be replaced or not.

The second and third form have a relationship to the first form via an equipment identification code. eg. Display One's id code is D1.

The first form will have two buttons linking to the test form and battery form. Is it possible to automatically import the value of the identification code field from the first form into the identification code field of one of the other forms once you click one of the buttons.

thanks

Hi vCallNSPF,

Yes. Although what you describe sounds like an ideal situation to set up your test and battery forms as sub-forms of the equipment form. If you did this then the ID code field would be established via the master-child form relationship.

The sub-form control has a wizard that should walk you through the process fairly smoothly. The Tab control may also help if you need room on your equipment form.

Cheers,
