can't get access to data

[Jcan]

Hi fellow, I have a combo box on a form and when the item is not in the list of selected items I open a data entry form for them to continue entering the new item info. My problem is I can't get the text the user entered on the previous form. I call the form passing the "NewData" text as a argument to the next form and now i want to access that data in the form's "form open" event. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi!

Try this:

DoCmd.OpenForm "YourEntryFormName", , , , , , NewData

In the entry form when you need the data use:

Me.OpenArgs
