Auto fill form field via a simple main switchboard

Please help.

I have been developing a financial database, now I have been in last bit to finish. i do not know much technical terms, but i am trying to explain what i need. so please be with me.

This concerned database is designed for many projects to use. What i would like to do is that:

When user click eg. GIS button to get to the main data entry form. However in the main data entry form there is a field called Project. When user select GIS button from Main switchboard. I like the GIS word paste into Project field. Can you instruct me on doing this please.

Looking foreward to seeing your reply

Thank you in advance

Is the "Project field" on your main form a textbox. If so, on the OnOpen event of your main form you could enter code like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Textbox1 = "GIS"
  2.  
Hope this Helps,
JS
