Re: NEWBIE - Accessing Variables stored in another form

To answer your questions:

1. No - How do I create this reference?
2. I am opening a Form2 from Form1. I want to retrieve values from
variables stored in Form1 and put them on Form2.
3. I do not think the two forms are related. How do I set up a
relationship between the two?

Thanks,
-Dave
