Accessing anyform.subform from another form 1

[jmoby]

I am trying to access a FormA.subform from FormB. The tricky part is, that I don't know what FormA is. I do know what subform is named though. and I do know that FormB pops up from FormA.
I am trying to use something like Screen.PreviousControl.Application.Screen.ActiveForm.myTextBox to get the value of the text box.
This doesn't work. I think I am on the right track? I hope there is a better way to do this.

Thanks!

FormB pops up from FormA
You may consider playing with OpenArgs.

Hope This Helps, PH.

when using OpenArgs I get the form name passed over as a String,as myStringForm.
I need to access Forms!myStringForm.subform in some way. How can I get myStringForm interpreted properly?

Thanks!
