Populating fields in a pop-up form from a master form

[pounana]

Dear all,

(using access 2002 on windows 2k)

Apologies for such a simple question, I just can't seem to sort it out myself.

I have a form called frmProject Details, which includes nested subforms, call logs, contact details etc.

When a user clicks a button, the form frmProject Specific Call Log opens in data entry mode, where they can add details of new activities or calls to the call log (which can then be seen from the subform in frmProject Details).

Why OH WHY can't I get the frmProject Specific Call Log to automatically populate the Project name field with the project that frmProject Details was displaying? AAaagh!

I'm going to have a cup of tea. Thanks so much for the help this board has already provided.

Just post the version of front-end and what you had tried (<Red Eye>Most important, Get back with that tea</Red Eye>).

The tea must have done the job; so silly, I just put a hidden control on the pop up form with the default value =[Forms]![Project Details]![ID]

Works a treat, and the DB actually looks really nice now. All I have to do is delete about a thousand lines of code from buttons I have subsequently deleted...

So obvious.....Really appreciate the offer of help, though

Don't underestimate the power of tea.
