I have two controls a my formone is txtEtime, the other is txtMtime.
What I want is when the data (in this case a time value) is entered in the
control txtEtime I want it to be the default value in the txtMtime control.
both controls are on the same form call "frmLog" I have tried
"FORMS!frmLog!txtEtime" and get a #Name? in the control

A control's DafaultValue property is applied as soon as the
record has been dirtied, so that idea won't work (the record
was dirtied when the user entered the value of ETime).

However, I believe it will be just as effective to just set
the value of MTime in the ETime control's AfterUpdate event:

Me.txtMTime = Me.txtETime

If I've misunderstood your question, please post back.
