Transfer Text Values To Another Form

I have a main data entry form (frmpartquote). From this form I would like to open a new form (products) to create a sub set of records.

When I open the new form to add products to a main quote I would like to transfer the quotenumber on the quote form to the quotenumberfield in the products form.

I use the following code in the on open event in the product

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If IsOpen("frmpartquote") Then
partquotenumber.DefaultValue = Forms!FrmPartQuote!partquoteid
End If
End Sub


Now this works fine as long as the field is a number.

However I would like to use tartquotenumber as a text field

any ideas how I will do that....

thanks
