Can anyone help me on this toughy?

[SamuraiMooCow]

probably only a toughy to me...

This project i'm working on is a Game Organizer

Okay, first of all i have a menu that allows people to go to the second form, that works just dandy, i just say

Private Sub mnueditnew_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnueditnew.Click
        Me.Hide()
        Dim Form2 As New frmnewgame()
        Form2.Show()
    End Sub

Okay no problem, then when it comes up with the small screen, it has a list of options that you can chose from, varying from comboboxes to textboxes, when that's done i want it to close that screen and open up the previous screen with the new item added, so i used this code (pretend Items = every option combined)

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim Form1 As New frmplay()
        Me.Hide()
        Form1.ListBox1.Items.Add(Items)
        Form1.Show()
    End Sub

Now that works, but whenever i try and do it again, it clears the list...

I think it's because i'm declaring the form as a new form, but when i get rid of the new, it won't work...

Question 1:

is there another way of doing this so it organizes the information in it's own little spreadsheet format, so i don't have to add all the items together into one large variable?

Question 2:

if not, is there a way that it won't clear the list every time i go back to the form?

sorry this is rather lengthy...
