Default Textbox Value

[FerryMary]

(I know I should have been able to find this, sorry)

2 forms involved.
frm1 (based on tblPMPrimary)
frm2(based on tblPMResults-created by AppendQuery)

frm1 has append query button to bring up current worklist for location.
frm1 also has button to bring up frm2, which is based on worklist-includes
results and foreign key for tblPMPrimary
The button to bring up frm2 uses equipmentID to link the forms. I need the
worklist Primary Key to be the default value of same field in frm2.

Is there a way to copy value of frm1.PMPrimary(textbox) to frm2.PMPrimary
(textbox)? Currently it just shows '0'?

Thanks so much

If the form is still open when you open the second form you can push it like:

docmd.openform "frm2"
forms!frm2.PMPrimary = me.pmprimary

hth

Thanks. I forgot an important fact. I will perform multiple checks on each
peice of equipment. So when frm2 is pulled up, since I have it based on
equipment, it will also pull previously completed checks. To counter that, I
had frm2 set to open with criteria that 'pmpmrimary' = 0 (for new records
only).

So do I need to update the textbox 'After Update' and can you suggest how?
I guess this question is not about a default value afterall...

And yes, frm1 is still open when frm2 opens.
Sorry for being so thick on this and thanks.
