As long as the other form is opened with a do form (it may be "hide"n or invisible, but it must be instanced)
just say:
TheValueNeeded=Theotherform.controlname.value

>>>How do I reference a control on another form from the current form? i.e. Thisform.controlname.value would be the value of a control on the current form. How do you say Theotherform.controlname.value?
