Populate a form from another form

[bakerman]

New to Access and struggling. I have a multiple items form to which i have added a button. When the button is pressed a new form opens. How do i populate the new form with the data on the first form?

It's somewhat dependent on how your forms are designed. You can refer to another (open) form with a fully qualified data source such as:
=Forms("TheOtherForm").Controls("Textbox1").Value
Or
=Forms![TheOtherForm]![TextBox1]

Maybe that will help. Otherwise, explain more about what you are trying to do with these forms.
