I have a form on which the user makes a selection.

The selection prompts another form to open. The form is used for two variations of the selection.

The user has these options:

x1
x2
y

If x1, then some of the textboxes are disabled, etc.

How do I get the value (1 or 2) to the new form? I could use a global variable I suppose, but isn't there a better *cleaner* way? If it was a procedure running I would pass the value byval or byref, but how do you do this for a form_load()?
