Referencing forms from modules

[mbjunior99]

I am trying to reference a listview, label and status bar from a module but cannot seem to get it to work. I have declared the form by saying dim frm as form1. This then errors everytime I reference my form. If I declare the form as a new form: dim frm as new form1, when I then say frm.show, it loops and loops around doing nothing. Any ideas?

Well, first of all, could you be more specific as to what you are trying to do? What exactly do you mean by referencing the listbox?

To stop the looping, use frm.showdialog() instead of .show()

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It is acutally a listview. I am adding items into the listview from a module and then trying to show the form. I have tried your suggesting but that does not seem to work.

Ah. Listview...hmm. I don't know anything about listboxes. Shooting blindly here, but could you not do much of what you are trying to do in the load() event for the new form instead of from the module?

Another shot in the dark: Could you populate an array in the module, load the array data into a variable, then pass that variable into the new form?

I would guess that the looping problem is unrelated to the listview thing, but again, just a guess.

Thanks for your help. I have put everything under the form and it is now working a treat.
