Help...... If you have been following my posting I have a form that if they
click on a button it will open another form....


I have a Client Info Form
Mailing Address
Billing Address
Contact/Responsible Party Form

The Contact & Responsible person and be one and the same or two different
persons... Since it can be one and the same I have both on one form....

Ok, so here is what I have done and am trying to do:

If they click that they need to add an Responsible Party,  I have figured
out how to get what ever name they put on the Contact/Responsible Form to
populate my main form (which is still open) in the ResponsibleName field.
Now if they specify that the contact name is the same as the Responsible
Party Name, then it will automatically populate the Contact Name field with
the same name was the Responsible Party Name field.... But if they specify
that the Contact name is DIFFERENT from the Responsible Party's Name then
the Contact/Responsible Form will re open so they can add the Contact
Name.... Ok here is what I need to figure out.....

I want to create a variable on my main form tblClientInfo at the place where
it calls the Contact/Respon Form to open... I want the variable
WhoCalledForm  where I can say WhoCalledPartyForm="Responsible" or
WhoCalledForm="Contact"

Then on the tblContact/Responsible I want to do the following:


Private Sub CommandClose_Click()

On Error GoTo Err_CommandClose_Click

If WhoCalledForm  = "Responsible" Then

    Me.txtCltResponName.SetFocus            'set the focus on the form to
Me.txtCltResponName
    Forms!frmClientInfo.txtCltResponName = Me.txtCltResponName 'set the
value of Me.txtCltResponName

ElseIf WhoCalledForm  = "Contact" Then

    Me.txtCltResponName.SetFocus
    Forms!frmClientInfo.txtCltContactName = Me.txtCltResponName

End If


    DoCmd.Close
Exit_CommandClose_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_CommandClose_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_CommandClose_Click

End Sub


I tried on the Main Form Dim WhoCalledForm  as String, I also tried Public
WhoCalledForm  as string (But after the Private Sub cbxContRespon_Click() )
and the other form could not see the variable....


How do I (Or were) do I state a "public" Variable so that the code above
will work
