Progress Data Movement

i am currently using Epicor Vista/Vantage, on a OpenEdge 10.1B Progress Database. I am trying move data from the current form im looking at, to another form with the same fields. Lets say i have pulled up the "Jobhed" table and the field "Jobhed.jobnum" from the Mfgsys database. so on my current form im looking at mfgsys.jobhed.jobnum i want to transfer that information to another form. I think it has something to do With Database /Screen buffers.  i am only looking for the Data movement code, i have the execution code already finished.

It can be in 4GL code or VB.net  Hope this makes sense :-) Let me know if theres anything i can Clarify

I have never used progress so i can help with vb.net only. When you say you want to move data across forms, do you mean that you want to open another form with same data loaded? In this scenario, i would pass the other form some ID column and the other form would load the data from database.

Yes thats right, i am trying to load data on one form and pull up the same data on another. However i am fairly New to Coding, if you have some Generic example of this to help me out that would be great ;-D
You can use the following code to open another form in vb.net. Lets say you are on OrdersList form and you need to show the details of a selected order. You would open the OrderDetails form supplying it the OrderID. OrderDetails would then load the details of the Order using the OrderID.

Dim F as new FrmOrderDetails
F.OrderID=OrderID
F.Show()

If you really are so new to coding then you should probably read some basics first.
Im Still Checking this out, but i had to put it on hold for a while, let you know in +/- Week
