You can’t.
What you can do is write the value of the form variable to an external text file; and then read that text file in the other database…..Or,
The database that needs the value can reference the other database which will give it access to functions in the referenced database.
You can write a function to return that variable and call it from the referencing database. Seems like too much trouble both ways. Exactly what are you trying to do and more importantly why?
