[RESOLVED] Having trouble saving fields from form2 into public strings

[ravi_elite]

what is weird is that it is actually saving some of the strings but not all..i dont understand
this is a xml reader i coded that turns the values into form fields..(works)
problem is taking those form fields and placing them into public strings
which is really weird because some of strings actually do return but some are blank


For example msgbox(__IRCVersion) returns the value from a textbox in the form
but msgbox(__AltNick) or msgbox(__Nick) does not...
