I cant figure out how to link two text boxes on different forms together.
What I want to do is this:
From Form one, click a menu button and have it open form2. On form 2, you select something and it sends a text value back to form 1.
I cant figure it out.
Somebody save me:confused:
Hi,
it will work if you use global variable.
I assume you did the following on form2:
dim f as new form1
f.textbox1.text=me.textbox1.text
I also assume you want text box on form 1 to display the value after form 2 is closed
So try this:
in any module declare a variable, for example
Global gMyText as string
On form2 do this:
gMyText=me.textbox1.text
on form1 on activate event do this
me.textbox1.text=gMyText
Check the sample code I posted .

Hi,
There are several recent threads on this. There are several ways to do what you want. Check the threads for the different advantages and disadvantages.
The simplest way is to instantiate all the forms as public in a module.
