How to wait for record count before copy 1

[Aximboy]

I have a Form1 with a command button that opens Form2.
Form2 displays the record count in the form footer.
Then I have a code that copies the record count on Form2 back to a textbox in Form1.
My problem is, Access copies the record count right away before the Form2 even calculates the record count. That’s why I always get a “0” value.
I even put a 5 to 10 seconds timer with no success. It still copies before the form is done counting the records.
Any help how I can solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Find the place in your code where Form2 calculates the record count, and then display it in Form1

Thank you for responding. Isn't the calculation of record count built in the forms? So I don't know where it is.

So what's your code where you call Form2 and where you display record count in Form1?

So from Form1, I have...

Command16_Click ()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2"

Forms!Form1!Text3 = Forms!Form2!Text4

End Sub

If you place a brake on the line:
[tt]Forms!Form1!Text3 = Forms!Form2!Text4[/tt]
where does your logic go if you step thru the code?
Does it continue loading Form2?

It loads but record count doesn't calculate first before copying to Form1.

A record count should be available from a simple DCount() rather than through a form. I assume you are counting the number of records in the Record Source of Form2. Why do you need to open the form? What is the record source of Form2?

OMG, I did not thought of that!
The only reason I'm loading Form2 is to get a record count.

Thank you so much Mr. dhookom!
