keep form variable for new record

[twcman]

I have a pop up form that is based on an id from the parent form. On the popup form I have a hidden field that is populated with this id. When I try to add a new record, the field is blank. How can I maintain the id value sent from the parent for so I can view records as well as add new ones?

You could pass the id in the OpenArgs of the form (one of the arguments of the openform method). Then in the form's OnLoad event, put Me!id = Me.OpenArgs.

Another way would be to declare a public variable in a module, assign the id to the variable, then write the variable to the appropriate control of the popup form.

HTH,
