As far as I know, you're trying to get the data the wrong way.

Anytime you would try to get your form data, from a standard module, your form probably will already be closed or, if you're not opening it as a restricted window, the value will not be ready yet.

Anyway, if you could get pass through all the difficulties above, you're probably coding in a not standard / right way.

Remember that VBA is an event driven language, and you would be better using it's strenghts rather than fighting against them.

As a final word, if this is just a casual coding, I suggest you using a global variable and make de Code Behind Form have set it up on control's change event.

If you're not sure what I mean, please leave a comment and I'll try to explain it better.

And, if you don't mind, let us know more about your starting code to get better answers.
