Moved to more appropriate forum. I've moved this to the Windows Forms forum, even though it is really just a question on object-oriented principles. If you want to affect an object you must have a reference, either direct or indirect, to that object. To get data into an object you must either set a property (or field) or else pass a value as an argument to a method. You may think this sounds complicated, but just read each sentence in isolation. A reference just means a variable, and direct means that the object itself is in the variable while indirect means that the object in the variable has a reference to the object you want to affect. As for setting properties and passing arguments to methods (procedures and functions), you have no doubt been doing that already. All this means is that your first form needs a variable that either refers to the TextBox itself or an object that has a reference to it, like the form that contains it, and then you must either set it's Text property directly or call a method that will set that property.

This is a completely unrelated question. Please keep each thread to one topic. This question should have been asked in a new thread. I've also already answered this question in another thread started under a different ID. Are you posting under two different IDs, or is it just coincidence that the same question has been asked by two different people in almost the exact same way, e.g. "Dear All', "Wut". We're here to help, but please use some common sense when posting.
