MS Access Forum / Forms / April 2008Forms retain a value
I open another form from a master form. I pass values with setting the slave form like fields equal to the master. The question I have is how do I retain the value without having to open the master form. Forms are the one side, subforms are the many side. The subform has to be linked to the mainform (properties, data, link master and child fields.) That value is set in properties so it will stay there and be there anytime the form is opened. You will not normally be able to use the subform without first using the one side on the mainform. If you want just one or two lookups on the subform you might use a combo box to get those. > I open another form from a master form.

I probably used the wrong terms as this is not a sub form it is more like a follow up form that uses some of the information on a first contact form. One the initial information is populated on the follow up form the first contact form is not needed. That is what I am having trouble with. How would a combo box work in this instance?

Store the values in an array or a collection of variables or a table or copy them from the first form to the second when you close the first.
