Actually i have a order form and from there i call
another form called Accessories. Now in that
form Accessories i wanted the value of a textbox


Can anyone help me in doing this?

You can add a function to the called form which returns the value of the textbox.

Hi,

Yes, you get an empty value because the form is not open anymore.
The value that you are retrieving from the other form, is it stored in a table?
If so, why don't you just read the record instead and get the value that way.

Hi,
The pattern I have used is this:


Create a function on the called form like SetValues(1,2,3,etc);
Create a function on the called form like GetValues(var1, var2,var3,etc)

On the calling form create a variable for the form CalledForm

On a button or menu choice

Clear(calledform);
Calledform.setvalues(1,2,3,etc); sends any values to be used on the called form
calledform.run or runmodal
you can set the values on the OnOpen trigger
After you close the called form it is still in scope so you can call

Calledform.getvalues(var1,var2,var3,etc); gets any values set in the called form

I hope this helps
