VB Newbie question...

[Cheeko]

Ok, so I'm new to VB.
I have VB 5.0 Professional Edition.

What I want is quite simple, just to chnage the caption of a form in run time.
So, on form 1, there is a text box and a command button, when the button is pressed, it assigns the text in the text box to a variable, then hides the current form and shows another form.
On the new form, when it loads, I have it so the caption is changed to the variable...
However, in run time, it stays blank.

I'm presuming it's cos the variable isn't global?
It's defined in a 'private' sub, so I when I call it in other places it isnt recognized?

Im not sure, new to VB as I say

To change screen do I have to go to a new form?
Or could I put two layouts on there, and when I push the button, it makes certain controls visable property to false and opther to true?
But that seems teidious if Im gunna need several screens?

Any ideas?

Add a Command Button control and paste this code into your Form will do.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim F As Form1
    
    Set F = New Form1
    Load F
    F.Caption = Text1.Text
    F.Show
End Sub

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    Dim F As Form
    For Each F In Forms
        Unload F
        Set F = Nothing
    Next
    End
End Sub

'Form1
Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Load Form2
  Form2.Caption = Text1.Text

  Form2.Show
End Sub

does that work?
