Check this out: Passing parameters between forms in MS Access - Stack Overflow[^]

Quote:

VB

' Invoked by some Button on the first form '
Sub GoToSecondPage()
    DoCmd.OpenForm "MySecondPage", acNormal, , , , , txtEmployee.Value
End Sub

' Second form '
Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
        lblShowEmployeeName.Value = Me.OpenArgs
    End If
End Sub

Very important note:
The first form have to stay opened till the second form will be loaded.

A bit more information you'll find here: Passing Multiple Values to Microsoft Access Forms with the OpenArgs Parameter[^]
and here: Using Access Forms VBA: Passing Values Using OpenArgs[^]

And finally... Microsoft recommendation: Use parameters in queries, forms, and reports - Access[^]
