Updating main form from subform 1

[ajking]

I have a main form which has a button to open a sub form. this subform has a listbox which allows multiselection of items. I have a variable that holds the resulting string.
what I want is that when I close the sub form I want this variable to populate a text box on the mainform so that the choices are included in the main record.
I am probably missing something very simple but it's one of those days! TIA

Before closing the "subform":
Forms![main form]![text box] = ResultingString

Hope This Helps, PH.
