I've used "Thisform" extensively when reading data from a control into a local variable, i.e., "lcTextOutput1Value = thisform.text_output1.value" but I don't know how to reference this control from a different form. For instance, let's say form "A" has a text_output control1, just mentioned above, and I have a commmand button on that form that launches form "B." How do I reference the form A control directly when focus is on form "B?"

I'm sure there's an easy way to reference a form's controls directly by just using the form's name instead of "thisform" but I haven't figured it out yet.

Thanks,
