>I'm sorry, the entered text doesn't disappear from the form, however when I click on a button and the underlying code wants to use the 'value' from the textbox, it's no longer available.
No longer available - do you get an error message? Or an empty or null value?
Assuming you renamed your TextBox as TxtClientId (a user option where the user types in the client ID - say, for a report), and that it is on the top level (not in a Page or Container, for example), your code, in the CommandButton, might look something like this:
MessageBox("Verifying Value: " + trans(ThisForm.TxtClientId.Value))The trans() is there just in case the value is not of type character. Otherwise it is not required.
> When I create a temp form via the wizard and use a textbox & command button, when clicking the button, the textbox value is available. What's the difference?
