Why isnt this code working right??

On form 2:

Private sub btnGO_click.....

dim form1 as new form1

form1.txtHello.text = "Hello"


****
It doesnt update the display in the txthello textbox, but if I were do add form1.show() after it, it appears then? Im assuming its some sipmple extenstion to add to either form. or txthello. but I cant figure it out and ive worn my patience thin.

Thanks guys.
