Update data when form opens

[herby_one]

Hi,
I have a form for entering a new communication. I've set the default property for the Landlord_ID field to update automatically with the following line:
=[Forms]![frmNewLandlord]![Landlord_ID]

However I need to open the new communication from two different forms. And depending on which form opens the new comm form I want the landlord_ID field to be updated accordingly.
Does anyone know how I can change this default value line, eg. from [frmNewLandlord] to [frmLookup_Landlord].

Hi. Instead of using a default value, you can set the value using the form you use to open the new form like

docmd.open acform blah
Forms!Blah!Blah = Your value

That way, each form that opens it can set the value accordingly.
