    On Double Click event ~ set value/ copy data of selected field into a diff form


    I have a form that pops up (in datasheet view) when a customer is added to an order that shows all previous Shipping locations for the specific CustomerID. I would like to be able to double click on the ShippingID and have that populate on the original form. I assume this is a "on double click" event, but I dont know the vba to select the item I just clicked on and then add it to form.field of my choosing.

    Thank you in advance for any helpful information.

    -Matt

    Why don't you use a combobox or listbox on main form? Code can restrict the combobox/listbox choices to records for the specific customer. This is called cascading combobox/listbox.

    Unfortunately due to some other design elements A combobox/list box wont work. That said, I also want to be able to use this feature elsewhere (or at least I think I do).

    What design elements prevent combo/list box?

    Options:

    1. second form sets value of first form field: Forms!firstformname!fieldname = Me.textboxname

    2. declare a global variable or TempVar that can be referenced from anywhere to set and read

    Forms!form1!field = me.field worked perfectly.

    I assume the issue arises from how I've set up my tables. I've attached an image of the table relations. I didnt like how Aliases were working so I built a table instead. Click image for larger version.
