Frank, Thanks for your advise.
I wish to look into the onLoad option that you suggested, but please tell me, how to set the value attribute of logic:equal to the value of the opening form's field. For example, if opener.forms[0].to_country.value has a value of UK, how can I get this value (UK) to the value attribute of logic:equal in formB? Please note that fromB opens up as a pop up.
