Great! The following general principles may also help you in other programming tasks:
1. Variables declared in one method will not be available in another method of the same form. Form-level properties solve this problem. (Public variables are an abomination unto the Lord. - Well, they may be used on rare occasions, but this is not one of them.)
2. These properties may also be objects.
Note that sometimes you will get a dangling object reference. If you have trouble closing a form, it may be that somewhere else you still have a reference to your form.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
