Hello All, I would like to set an application wide property / class member from my main form ( what I used to call the VFP desktop - with main menu etc..., pardon my terminology I'm new to .NET ) and be able to access it from all of my child forms, anyone have any ideas as to how to achieve this ?, the actual deal is: I have a picklist form which is used by several other forms and I want to create it once ( it is a fairly data intensive form ), and "Show()" it as and when required.
