Passing Data from One Form to Another-Simply

[Chris]

Hi all,

I have a simple form(frmBtfInfo) that when you push a button, opens
another form (frmBtfSearch) with some radio buttons in an option group
and a text box. All I need to do is pass 2 string variables from
frmBtfSearch to frmBtfInfo, but even after searching here, I can't find
a simple solution.

Any suggestions? If so, code would be appreciated even if its generic.
I'm sure it will end up being easy, but I haven't been able to figure
it out yet. I'm relatively new to coding VBA, but have more experience
with VB6 and VB.Net. The differences between VB and VBA have been
driving me crazy so far.

Thanks,
Chris

You are likely using the DoCmd.OpenForm statement to open the second form...
in the code window, put the cursor on that statement and press F1 for Help.
Then read about the OpenArgs argument of DoCmd.OpenForm. It passes a string
to the just opened form... and the form has an OpenArgs property, from which
you can retrieve them on startup.
