Need some help.

I'm using the toggle function to ask new users if they need building/security access. If yes a text box will appear and more information can be gathered. If no then the text box stays hidden. I have this part down the part I'm struggling with now is how do I get what the user inputs into the text box to show on a separate Details Screen I have that shows all the selections the user made on the forms page?

From the OnChange of the Text Input Control on first screen
Set(myVar01,Self.Text)
Suppose you have a Label on the other screen
From the Text property of the Label on the other screen:
myVar01

Follow up question. If I wanted to take it further and include that data in an email body what would the syntax for that be?

I'm currently pulling the data entered into my form and sending it in the body of an email now I'm just lacking the correct syntax to include the new data in the text box from the toggle into the email.

The portion of the code I'm using to send this section of the email is:
&"<br> Building/Security Access:"&" "&EditForm1.LastSubmit.'Building/Security Access'

With that string of code it's sending out the yes/no function in the email but I would like the entered text included as well.

Instead of &EditForm1.LastSubmit.'Building/Security Access'
put &YourTextInputControl.Text
, or if you don't want to replace it, do this:

//pseudocode &"<br> Building/Security Access: " & EditForm1.LastSubmit.'Building/Security Access' &"<br> Building/Security Access Text: " & YourTextInputControl.Text

See if it helps @IrisJim
