In addition I want to pass data from Form A to Form B when it is
instantiated. *I assume I can set the value of hidden label when I create
form B, but this seems a little stupid. *


Any advice on how to do this?


I agree with Bob. *Declare Public variables in a standard module and
then set them as needed. *For instance, if you want textbox1 on Form B
to be populated when it opens with the value from textbox2 on Form A,
you could use:


Standard module:
Public example As String


Button on Form A that opens form B
example = Me.textbox2


Initialize event of Form B
Me.textbox1.Text = example


HTH- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


They just need to be declared at the top of a standard module. I
typically create a module for nothing but my public declerations.
