Help in Access XP with accessing Forms from other Forms 1

[russeldraper]

I'm working with an Access project and I'm trying to access a Forms variables from another Form with the statement:

Me.txtPolicyNumber = Forms!FrmPolicyInfo.txtPolicyUnbound

But this statement and others like it give me the following error:

Run-time error '2450':
Big Ben can't find the form 'FrmPolicyInfo' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code.

This is confusing to me because I have a Form called FrmPolicyInfo, but my program isn't finding it. Can anyone help?

Your message is stating that the form is not currently open. The Forms collection only contains with the forms that are currently on the screen.

Don't close your form frmpolicyinfo - just make it invisible. "me.visible = false" after the docmd.openform that has the txtpolicynumber field on it.

I am assuming that you are opening your txtpolicynumber form from the frmpolicyinfo form with a button click??
