HOW DO IACCESS SHARED DATASET!!!

[markyjj01]

Can someone please help me with the following problem. I want to update a sql database table through a dataset on a windows form(c#), the problem being that I want to do the update from a 2nd form. The dataset is created on the 1st form and I am not sure if I am referencing it correctly. I have tried making the dataset static and public but the changes are not showing in the sql database once I carry out the update.

The code for the 2 forms I am using is below....any help would be appreciated
