txtBox reference

[matrixknow]

I have a dummy question. I have a sub in a module and I need the value of a Textbox. However how should I do this correct ?

strPath = Forms!Main.txtPath.Value

not ok

strPath = Forms!Main!txtPath.Value

not ok

He sais Main does not exist, in the form tab he is listed and in the properties I can't find a name. He use a different caption for the form.

How are ya matrixknow . . .

I perfer [blue]Forms!Main!txtPath[/blue]. You don't need value as its the default property for most controls . . .

See Ya! . . . . . .

Be sure to see FAQ219-2884:

Obviously, txtPath is a TextBox in an open main form named Main ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Ok, I should first say open to the form.
The code is in my module and as you guest not behind my form.
