   tya, I appreciate your responses. Although I understand the   
   replies, I'm struggling with the code to achieve it & I'm   
   hoping that someone can be a bit more specific.   
      
   I can't publish details of the application as it's semi-cic   
   however I can liken it to a quiz. One question on each of 3   
   forms using option buttons. I need an answer from form 1   
   passed to form 2, both answers from forms 1 & 2 passed to   
   form 3.   
      
   My current approach is to write the answers to a temp file   
   which apart from passing the variables, it makes it easy to   
   reset the application.   
      
   Is there a better way of doing it? A response of more than   
   'yes' would be appreciated.
