Hi

Using VB.net 2003

I know how to access controls on a 2nd form after declaring the form in
the first.

But how do I access the controls on the original form from the 2nd form.

(in frmMain)
   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
    System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Dim form2 As New Form2
       form2.TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text
       form2.Show()
   End Sub

(in Form2)
   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Dim form1 As New Form1
       form1.TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text
       form1.Update()
       Me.Close()

   End Sub

Form2 textbox updates ok
The textbox in form1 does not update and still holds the original text
before opening Form2

This is just a simple example I cannot get working, once I can get this
working the I should not have problems with the actual code I need to use.

There must be a simple answer to this....???

Thanks in advance for any help given
