In this video, you will learn how to get a value from another form in Microsoft Access. I will show you how to default a new order to the currently open customer.

Kole from Chandler, Arizona (a Platinum Member) asks: I'm using your Invoicing Template which is very helpful. Thank you. When you click to add a new invoice for a customer, is there any way to have the customer combo box automatically set to the currently open customer on the customer form?

BONUS FOR MEMBERS:
Silver Members and up get access to an Extended Cut of this video. Members will learn a more elegant solution to check to see if the OrderID is null when the user starts entering a line item in the order detail form. If so, one will be automatically assigned. This will prevent an error message. Also, members will learn how to reference a value on a subform and some simple debugging with On Error Goto.
