Basic form queston.

[f1car]

O.K. I’m totally missing something here?

I have a form1 that I need to call form2 and in form2’s code I want to run some more code. The problem seems to be that the project wants to handle form1 just like form2, as in both have,

Private Sub Form_Load()

So how can form1 call form2 if both the private subs have the same name?

I’ve been playing with the mdiform, but VB’s examples are pretty poor am I heading in the correct direction?

Depends on what you mean:

-if you want to reference variables on another form, say form 2, then do this: "Form2.Variable = so-and-so"

-if you want to load another form from from one, again form 2, then do this: "Show Form2".

Hope this helps Take Care,
Mike

This is a "Scope" thing.
Just as there is Scope with variables(Global, Modular & Procedure), Procedures have scope. All forms have a Form_Load, but notice that it is declared as Private. That means frm1 can't "see" frm2's Form_Load, and vice versa.
Hope that helps. Tim
