Assigning value in Form2 from Form1 thorws error. why?

Hi all,

I have two forms, Form1 and Form2 respectively. I have a command button in form1. I do some manipulations and finally I display the results in form2 using the following code:

VB Code:

With Form2
    .lblResult = "This is a test result line 1" & vbcrlf & "This is a test result line 2" 'display the output in label.
    .show vbModal
end with

If I run this code I got "Error no. 78; File/Path access error".

Anybody know what sort of error it is? and How can I avoid this?

CS.

What do you have in Form2 Load event?

cssriraman, using your code, and nothing else, I get the text showing on Form2 with no error.

Open a new project with 2 forms, a button on 1 and a label on the other, and it'll probably work.

Thanks!

@Al42 & RhinoBull:

I used the same thing in many projects and never had any issue.

You know what, I declared a public variable in Form2:

VB Code:

public strTemp as string
Private Sub Form_Load()
lblResult.Caption=strTemp 
End Sub

And in Form1

VB Code:

With Form2
    .strTemp = "This is a test result line 1" & vbcrlf & "This is a test result line 2" 'display the output in label.
    .show vbModal
end with

This code worked fine without any issues.

Not sure what is the root cause for Path/file access error.

Is the Form2/form1 is corrupted or something? But I can open it, see/edit the code and can complie it.

This happens to my current project only not on all projects.

Open the form files in Notepad and see if there's anything in there that shouldn't be. (Open a good form file in Notepad and compare, if you aren't familiar with what the file should look like.)
