    I have a custom header/detail form, and I have included a button on the detail row that calls a second custom header/detail form.  I have a field in the header of first form that I want to pass to the header of the second form for data selection purposes.

    If it matters, I am using the "W" type in the $TRANS section for the button and putting the called form in the Picture area.

    Is there a way for me to pass a value between the two forms via the button?

    Thanks!

      DOH!  I solved my problem with key numbers.  My brain was locked into a "code" solution rather than thinking about my other options.

      Basically, I created a custom key number using kndef and then referenced that key in the .scr file for the fields I wanted to pass from/to.

      Works like a charm!
