Question : How do I store the result of a select query into a variable

I created a simple table with 2 columns as well as a form. I want to grab the user input from a combo box and query the table for the result to be used later. For example, my table looks like
Jan 10  |  013110
Feb 10 |  022810

If the user selects 'Jan 10' in the combo box, I want to store the '013110' in a variable to use later.

The following code executes the query but it opens the results in a datasheet which I do not want to display. Do I need to create a record set for the single value? Here is my code below

Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryBatchHeader")
     
strSql = "Select tblBatchHeader.MonthValue from tblBatchHeader where tblBatchHeader.MonthName = Forms![frmUserform]![Month];"
qdf.SQL = strSql

  Me.Visible = False
  DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryBatchHeader", acViewNormal, acEdit
  DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmUserform"

Thank you in advance!
