Many thanks John for your reply and apologies for not answering sooner (I
was out of town for a few days)
The database records information for a Property Management Co. The index is
the suite no and property name.
The master/detail relationship is "Master" = Property information, which
contains current tenant and owner info. The "Detail form" records
transactions against the property, phone messages from tenants, owners &
others, repair work for suites etc.
The detail has a field for the "Caller name and no" ... when the caller is
the current tenant or owner as is usually the case, I want to double click
on the tenant or owner area on the master and have it appear on the "Caller"
field on the detail, i.e. not re-type or cut and paste the info.
Your suggestion works very well for that .. again many thanks

Hello,
I would like to set up a variable that is accessible from both forms on a
"Master Detail" form .. e.g. I would load it up with info on a field
double
click on the master form and have the info available on detail form, by a
double click or whatever.
A global variable is not required, if the form is open; you can reference
any
open form's controls directly from code anywhere in the database:
[Forms]![MasterFormName]![Controlname]
What specific "info" do you want to be made available, and for what
purpose?
