Can't assign a value to this object

[SAC]

I'm opening a form from a form and after the cmd.openform command I'm trying
to assign a value toa combo box control on the new form from a text box on
the old form by using:

Forms![frmInvoice]![cboJobId] = [Forms]![frmBookingShows]![txtJobNo]

and I get the error that I can't assign a value to the object.

How can I do this so I can put the value into the new form and then refresh
it so it is as if I lookup it up in the combo box on the new form?

Thanks.

I got it to work by requerying the combo box after I passed the value to it.
