Data from one Form to another...

[soupisgood84]

I have a form that is getting data from another open form. I have set the default value of the second form's textbox to the textbox of the first. That appears to be working the way I want. Although in one textbox I am trying to add an * (the actual character) to the beginning and the end of whatever data I have in the first text box.

Is there a way to do this in the properties of the textbox? Or is it something that needs to be done in VB?

This is what I thought it would look like but it doesn't work.
= "*"=[Forms]![frmDATAentry]![SerialNumer]"*

Try this instead...

= "*" & [Forms]![frmDATAentry]![SerialNumer] & "*"

Perfect! Exactly what I needed.
Now that I see what it was...I actually remembered thats what I needed to do!
