I have 2 applications:-

Application1 contains

Form1 with fields Name1, date1

Form 2 with fields Name2 (the data in this field is copied across from Name1 in Form1), Number1

Application2 contains

Form1 with the following fields:- 

Name3 - A Lookup field - the relationship is to Name1 in Form1 in Application 1

Date2

Number2

When someone goes intro Application2 and looks up the name in Name3 field - I use the gettype function to find the associated record  in Form1 and the date1 data in Application1/Form1 is copied into date2 field - this function does work

As in Application2 when someone looks up the name in Name3 field,  I am trying to use the gettype function to find the associated record in Form2 (Application 1) and return the same value in Number1 to the Number2 field - This function doesn't seem to work and looking for some help please??!
