[RESOLVED] How to run a sub on another form?

[KCWebMonkey]

Is there a way to run a sub on a form by calling it from another form?

If you declare the Sub public, you can call it from anywhere. Ex:

Public Class Form1
 
    Public Sub HelloWorld()
        MsgBox("Hello World")
    End Sub
 
End Class

Say we want to call it from Form2:

Public Class Form2
 
    Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim frm1 As New Form1
        frm1.HelloWorld()
    End Sub
 
End Class

Forms are objects, just like any other. Any object can call any accessible member of any other object PROVIDED that it has a reference to that object. Forms are no different. I suggest that you read the "Forms in VB.NET" tutorial in my signature.
