Copy or pass an instance of a class mod from form to form

[Jimreaper]

Does anyone know the best way to copy or pass an instance of a class mod from form to form.

Ex.

frmLogin has an instance of class ClsUser called objClsCurrentUser

A cmdOk within frmLogin shows frmMain.
I would like to use or set the instance objClsCurrentUser and its current properties within frmMain.


Thanks for your help.

You need to create a public variable of type ClsUser in frmMain's declaration section.
___
Public varClsUser As ClsUser 'Code in frmMain
___

Now in cmdOK's click event, you need to initialize this public variable before showing frmMain. Something like this...
___
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
...
'Initialize the variable
Set frmMain.varClsUser = objClsCurrentUser
'Now show the form frmMain...
...
End Sub
___

After that the variable varClsUser in frmMain will hold the reference to the class instance objClsCurrentUser in frmLogin and you can manipulate this object from within frmMain.
