Problem with text box value in form

[Esmatullaharifi]

I have two forms where in first form i have options for second form. In first form i have a text box and its value is copied to second form using this code

=Forms![FirstForm]![Counter]

but when i open second form using button in first form the vba message that counter value is empty. I used vba if code in second form on counter

if counter.value = 1 then
solo.visible = true
end if

Please Help Me.

What code are you using to open the second form?

Is the Value for Counter, in the first form, being entered and then you're using a button to go to the secondary form? If so, you probably need to save the record in the first form before opening the second form. Either of these commands will do this:

If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False

or

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

Not sure what you mean by this:

I used vba if code in second form on counter

but that code would need to be in the Form_Load event of the second form...not in an event associated with the Counter Field.

counter is unbound and not connected to any table.
I have conditions in first form and also in second form according to counter. the counter value may change time to time according to conditions and the second form also depending on this counter.
This code was good but when i use it many times in many forms the error is displayed.
