Returning a value from a VB Form 1

[lpedde]

This is probably very basic but I am having to teach myself VB after a background in Paradox for DOS.

I have a VB form which allows the user to request labels for a given zip code range. From this form I call another form which prompts the user to put labels in the printer before building and printing the labels. I need to know how to have Form2 return to Form1 either True or False based on the button pushed on Form2 ("Print Labels" or "Cancel Labels&quot.
I am confused about the scope of variables. I don't really want to declare a global variable for the whole project just for these two modules.

Thanks Linda

On approach you can try is to set up a hidden text box on form1.

Then on form2 add at the appropriate point in the logic

form1.edhiddencontrol.text = "T"
or
form1.edhiddencontrol.text = "F"

then you can easily reference the control value from form1

Good Luck
