[RESOLVED] Passing or calling a Variable to another sub

[raptormanad]

Is there a way to call or pass a variable to another sub? I'm trying to reterive a variable (or even a field name) in somethign like this:

Private Sub PrintPageHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)

        args.Graphics.DrawString(RS("field1"), New Font("arial", 8), Brushes.Black, 5, 5)

    End Sub

or

Private Sub PrintPageHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)

        args.Graphics.DrawString(variable1, New Font("arial", 8), Brushes.Black, 5, 5)

    End Sub

Where variable1 is from another sub. I keep getting a null exception.
