Transfer certain data to another form

T

Tony

When I finished working on a certain data, I would like to move from working
file (form) to Process File (form). I thought I can establish a button with
inserted Macro... a push of a button then it would move a data/file. Would it
be possible?

Data is not stored in forms, it's stored in Tables. It would be possible to
use 2 tables, but generally, not a good idea unless there's much more data
in the second table. Even then, you normally only move the key to the second
table. If it is a simple change in status, it's better to add a yes/no field
to the first table to show the data in Process.

Yes Tony,

Leave the file form open and in the OnCurrent event of the Process form, set
each controls value to the control on the file form. Like:

me.thiscontrol = forms!fileform.control1

etc.
