From on click button makes a field visible on another form

[newtocoding]

Hi there

When I press a button on one form, I want it to open another form but make a field on that form visible. I have tried the following:

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Me.text1.Visible = True
End Sub

But it will say method or data member not found.

Any help much appreicated.

Thanks

use the FULL path to the other form

forms!my2ndForm!txtBox.visible = true

(me.XXX ME = the form the code is running in)

Thanks Ranman

But still does not work, Says runtime error: 2450 and cannot find the referenced form?

You need to first open the form before you can reference any of its objects.
DoCmd.OpenForm "formname"
Forms!text1.Visible=True

Thank you Aytee111

That works perfectly!
