[Access] Read value of control on form from report

Another one of these "simple" issues :(

One form open and has a VB 6 DTP on it populated with a date value.
One report opened from the forms button click that needs to populate a textbox with the forms DTP value.

Problem, gives an error "Error 2424: The expression you entered has a field control or property that MS Access cant find"

:confused:

Can you post the code associated with the _Click event of the button?

Sadly no because its too large and too large to attach. It has allot of API calls and linked table queries, etc. You wouldnt believe all the stuff behind one button click, almost another whole program lol.

For some reason I CAN read combo boxes on this form from the report but not textboxes, let alone the DTP.

Just thinking that if it comes down to it I may have to do some bad coding and use a few public vars. :(
