(easy) Accessing a form field value in VBA
I have a form (frmCMReport) with two text fields (txtCMStartDate, txtCMEndDate) and a button.
Code when you click the button:
Private Sub cmdRunReport_Click()
Dim retVal As Integer
Dim myStr As String
myStr = "start: "
myStr = myStr & frmCMReport.txtCMStartDate
myStr = myStr & ", end: "
myStr = myStr & frmCMReport.txtCMEndDate.T
myStr = myStr & "."
retVal = MsgBox(myStr, vbOKOnly)
End Sub
(It's just simple code to display the values as I want to know how to access the field values. Doing stuff with them comes later.)
Right now when I run the code I get "Error 424 Object Required". If I change the error line to "myStr = myStr & Form_frmCMReport.txtCMStar
This should be a simple thing to do, so how do I do it?

Just a note - if you're referencing an object (text box etc) on the form that your code is running on, you don't need to put the form name on.
If you type ME. when you press . you'll get a list of your objects.
