Why don't you pass a pointer to the control itself? Then just deposit the results directly back in the control itself on the calling form. John W.

You can do this by writing it to the zoom form's Tag property or by creating a public Property on the zoom form.

Ie, when the user double clicks a form text box, a form with one text field appears and the contents of the text box are fully displayed without having to scroll through it. The easy part is opening the box and populating. How do I get the contents from the zoom box back into the form text field that it was called from? I've tried saving to string or form but I'm not having any luck. Thanks for your help. _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com **************************************************************************** ******* "This electronic message is intended to be for the use only of the named recipient, and may contain information from Hudson Health Plan (HHP) that is confidential or privileged.
