You really need to clarify your posts more. Remember, there are a lot of newbies out there that may not have some of the insight you, I, or somebody else may have....

Please explain...

>>>The best way is to provide some kind of communication link between the forms. In simplified case (if the second form is modal and called from the first one) you may just return value (note) back. Also, you can pass parameter to the calling form. In more common case, when you have two modeless forms, you may force the second form (in some method) to look for the first one and call some method there, e.g.

>>>For Each oForm in _Screen.Forms
>>> If oForm.Name=="MYFIRSTFORM"  && form found
>>>   oForm.Mymethod   && do something there, e.g. cnahge textbox value
>>> Endif
