Dear The Expert,

With VB6 .. We can use / get the value of object from other form.. (eg. I want to get the value of textbox.text on Form1, I use Form1.Textbox1.Text) .. how about in VB.NET? .. I need to use the sqldataadapter object on Form1 .. how to do this...? please advice .. thank you

Several ways. Have a search of this forum for several posts.

Easiest is in a module:

Public frm1 as New Form1
Public Sub Main
Application.run(frm1)

In Form1

Dim frm2 as New Form2

You can then access any object or method of Form1 by prefacing your code for example.

frm1.TextBox1

but if we use the statement below:

dim f as new form1

this will call form1 twice .. because form1 is as startup form.. any idea?

TIA
