[AccessD] creating an inputbox form

I declare a global variable (e.g. retVal) and set it when the input form
is closed.

The next line of code in the calling form can then read retVal to
wherever its needed. Make sure you clear retVal when the input form is
loaded though to ensure you don't pick up old selections...

PS sorry if this has already been suggested, I missed parts of this

Don,

I would find where the command is to CLOSE your inputbox form...and
right 
before that...save the value to where ever you are going to store
it...even 
back to a field on the form that launched the inputbox.
ex:

    Forms!form1!Text0 = Me!Text0
    DoCmd.Close
