The reason I was asking this that I remember I had problems but my recollections are vague.

Say, I declared some variables in the calling program as private, assigned values, then called the form. IIRC these variables were only visible in the Load method of the form.

But I really don't remember the details, so I'll take Stefan's word as it works correctly.
