LOL, i don't think that's what he wants either. Naming a variable the same and giving it the same value will obviously give the right result but that's not what he wants.

First up, I don't know the answer but if i had to guess then i would say:

1. Declare sampleText as a Public variable rather than simply Dim
2. You will probably have to create an instance of Class1 within Form1 and then it will be easily accessible.
