Terence,

The form is being loaded before you populate the textbox.
Trying doing it
the other way around

Private Sub cmdButton_Click()
:
:
frmTest.txtbox1.Value = rst.Fields("testing")
frmTest.Show
End Sub

Hi,

I am writing a macro with a button on the worksheet.
When
the button is clicked, the userform pops up and the data
of the recordset is displayed on the textbox of the
form.

e.g.

Private Sub cmdButton_Click()
:
:
frmTest.Show
frmTest.txtbox1.Value = rst.Fields("testing")
End Sub


However, the screen pops up but the textbox remains
empty.
Then I close the form and press the button again, the
screen pops up but this time the value is shown on the
textbox. Does anyone knows why?
Thanks a lot.

Terence
