Question : Extracting data from Main Form

I have a mainform called frmIncidents and a subform called sbfrmPeople.  The subform has a command button that gets information from both the mainform and subform and enters it into variables which is then used in a sql statement.

There is a lookup on my mainform that stores Investigators IDs.  I need to take the ID from the lookup and put it into the variable.  This is the code I'm currently using:

Dim intInvestigatorID As Integer

intInvestigatorID = Me.intPrimaryInvestigator.Value

What would be the correct syntax to take a value from a mainform and put it into a variable?

Please note: these are the controls and names involved (incase that helps to provide a syntax)

mainform: frmIncidents
subform: sbfrmPeople
variable: intInvestigatorID (integer)
lookup: intInvestigator
bound field: intPrimaryInvestagor (integer)

Answer : Extracting data from Main Form

From the subform, refer to the Parent:

SomeVariable = Me.Parent.YourControlName
