Set an object on a form using variables

[idono]

I have a form that when click is trying to update another form. I have done this in VBA Access but cannot get it to work in VB. Here is an example in VBA:

Forms(nameofform).Controls(nameofcontrol) = variable

I keep getting an error because forms in true VB only has one property - count. Can anyone shed some light on this?

if you have 2 forms (Form1 and Form2) and each has a textbox (Text1)...

In Form1 you can say...

Form2.Text1 = variable

or the other way around going from Form2 to Form1...

Form1.Text1 = variable

In VB, you don't need to access your specific form through the forms collections. You can just do it directly. Here is an example assuming that you want to set the caption of the control "command1" on the form "form2":

form2.command1.caption = "Hello"

Give that a try.

Hope that helps!
