The code behind the splash screen creates an instance of the class that is
"In scope" of the splash screen. If a.n.other form / module / class creates
an instance then you have multiple instances, all with different
.MyDirectory properties.

You could have a Sub Main that holds a single  instance of the class, ant it
becomes responsbile for launching the splash screen and the subsequent form.
Then there is only 1 instance and the property is retained.

Ok, I placed the class in the main sub but I still loose scope when I go to a
form. Here is what my main sub looks like:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Data.OleDb

Module MainModule
   Dim vfClass As New FoxConnectionClass 'create class
   Public Sub Main()
       'Dim vfClass As New FoxConnectionClass 'create class
       'declare object for each form.
       Dim frmSplash As New fclsSplash
       Dim mainForm As New fclsMain
       Dim SqlLogin As New frmLogin

       'Directory structure to fox table.
       vfClass.mydirectory = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory & _
       "\sysconn.dbf"

       Try
           System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles()
           System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(frmSplash)
          (Remaining Code.....)

Unfortunately, when I try to access  the vfClass.mydirectory method from my
sqlLogin form it finds vfClass as not being declared. Any help would be
greatly appreciated...
