uno... ur question doesnt really make much sense... perhaps you really shoudl rephrase wtf you're trying to do in logical sense...

you're trying to show a form, like wat is this form for? is it a print preview dialog? be a bit more descriptive, because half the time we're sitting here trying to understand wat the question is, and at most of the time, we find it harder to figure out the question than figure out a solution to it.

From what I think you 'might' be trying to say:

You want to send INFO from one form to another.
Some things you need to know.

1. If you want to send info to another form, that form must first be open. So my guess is that you are trying to send info before the form is open?
If so: just open the form, then send whatever you are trying to send, then refresh the form.

2. The form you are sending from must be open at the same time.

(These two points may have been irrelevant if you are first sending info to a global variable)

3. To use objects on another form:
formName.objectName.command

-m.

If you're using data, you could use a module to store Global Data...though it might not be extremely effective, it works. That's what i used for my yr 11 project to transfer names and the like across forms.

if u are using vb.net when transfering info on the formload event of the second form then call all the vairables and stuff
ie form1.nameofobject.text

and on the onclick event for the first form use me.hide as it can then pass through info to other pages
