Sharing data between forms

I have an appl where I have a main form and several other forms (detail) where information is collected. All controls are unbound and I control all db updating via vba code. I would like to set values in the controls on the various detail forms from the main form. Also, once done I need to retrieve lots of control values from the detail forms from the main form in order to perform all the I/O. There is too much data to pass between them. Also quite a bit to be using global variable and such. Is there a solution where all the placing and retrieval of variables is done from the main form?
