You likely using the DoCmd.OpenForm statement to open the second form...

in the code window, put the cursor on that statement and press F1 for Help.

Then read about the OpenArgs argument of DoCmd.OpenForm. It passes a string
to the just opened form... and the form has an OpenArgs property, from which
you can retrieve them on startup.
