Multiple forms

[pantara27]

when I add new forms in my project I need to declare the form just before I use it or I get an error that the for is not shared if I declare it and use it in one control the others still do not recocgnize it . and when I declare it in the form1 load it still is'nt recognized how can I make additional forms public in the project so that I can show them or access thier controls from any control in the project.

Please Help!!!

If I'm understanding the question correctly, declare the form on each form and then call it with a frmName.Show()

Like in the program I'm workin with on....

I have frm1,frm2,frm3,frm4,and frm5. Now lets say I want to access frm5 from all the others, I would:

(on frm1,frm2,frm3,and frm4)

Dim MyForm As New frm5()

(to show the form)

Private Sub MenuItem16_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem16.Click
MyForm.Show() 'could also use MyForm.ShowDialog()
End Sub
