[RESOLVED] dual forms

if i have two forms or more. how do i grab a variable from form1 and use it in form2?

thank you

steve

In form1

something = form2.variable_name

Or In form2

something = form1.variable_name

ah thanx

Use custom properties - they allow to read/write without having form loaded (it will intialize only). Let me know if you need some sample code for that.

Has to be Public in the first form:

form1:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Public s$
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  s = Format(0.25, "#,0.00")
  Form2.Show
End Sub

form2:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  MsgBox Form1.s
End Sub

Or put the variable into a module.

casey.

thanx dglienna works perfectly now
