Why can't I put the data from an unbound text box on one form into another form.

I have a form Customer Service Form with an unbound text box that holds the data about sales tax. I have another form that is an invoice, and I want the sales tax in the Customer Service Form to be also put on the invoice form in the text box. Here is what I have been trying but it doesn't work. By the way the text boxes are unbound.

This all depends upon when you are asking for this data.

You need to let us know what you are currently trying.

As a side note, you should always get into the habit of renaming all your controls with an appropriate prefix (e.g., the Tax text box would have the name txtTax). In the long run, this reduces the amount of confusion introduced to yourself, and the DB engine, which is trying to figure out what reference you are using.

It would help to see what you are using right now.
