Copy data between forms

[dondilbert]

I've got 2 forms one with contact details in it and one with company details in it. On the companies form I wish to have a button that creates a new contact from this company and thus opens a new contact record with the company id copied over from the companies form. The tables behind the forms are linked by company id number. Can anyone please help?

Hi there,
It think you could use OpenArgs to pass a value from one form to another, or maybe you could use a global variable to this...
