I have a form (form A) that "shows" another form (form B). Form B collects
data that I want to be available to Form A when Form B is unloaded.

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?

Declare a public variable in a standard code module, simplest way.

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

Do I just creat another module anyhere in the spreadsheet or is there
someplace special I need to declare these variables?

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.

Thank You.
