Techie note: forms don't have fields, they have objects, some of which can
be bound to fields. If you wanted to refer to an object such as a text box
on another form then try

Forms!frm_b!txtMyTextBox

where txtMyTextBox is the name of the text box. Note that the form would
have to be open in "normal" mode.
