what are you doing exactly? so you have two open forms and you're trying to change the text of a textbox on another form? Umm you have to have a refrence to the other form, you cant just declare a new variable.

search the forum if that's what you want to do... a few billion people including me have asked this before:D:D

this code it one the frmForm2

Thanks

You still have not explained it very well.

But your code has nothing to do with frmForm2, you have no references to it at all.

e.g

' Create a new instance of frmForm1
Dim X As New frmFORM1

'Put the text "TEST" into the textbox on the new instance of frmForm1
X.txtTEXTBOXONE.Text = "TEST"


You have to remember the BIG fact that everything in VB.net has to be a instance of an object. You might want to have a good read on the differences between vb6 and vb.net.

if frmFORM1 is already open then your code wont work cause you create and work with a new isntance if it, not the one which is open. If not open then when u open it txtTEXTBOXONE.Text value should be the one you specified here.

Hey that makes sense thanks alot

Is there anyway to change a textbox on one form from another form while they are both open?


Thanks

Yes,
