i appreciate the generous help in not just making a general suggestion, but trying to create an example soultion.

However, I don't know what this is or how to use it. When I open your .zip file, I get only an open excel worksheet with a data array. The array is roughly like what I guess would be the equivalent of an Access List Box in Excel, but I don't know what it is. It's not the end result I want, because I want only one value - the eqiuvalent of one of those cells, from the selected row - to be displayed in the second form. There aren't two forms (worksheets?) here, so I can't see that process occur, and like I said, the result would be only one cell of data.
Furthermore, and this may be a result of my ignorance in Excel, but I don't see any VB code here at all. If it's here, I don't know how to see or find it.
Last but not least, I'm not sure if this access concept can be reprsented in excel, or that the excel solution incorporates specfiic commands and syntax that would be neccesary for Access.

So, sorry, I can't get much from this. But, thanks for the effort.
