Carrying a field value to another form

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have created two forms containing the same data from the same table. On
one of the forms each field is locked to prevent any changes, and I want to
create a command button that the user can click to go to the other form where
he/she can update the data. However, I can't find a way to carry the key
forward into the second form. On the protected form, the user enters a last
name, and then when the update button is pushed, I want the key from that
record passed to the second form to select the same record for updating. I
can get the second form to come up blank, or to request the user to enter the
key field, but I can't get it to automatically carry forward. Any help is
appreciated.
