Public Class Signon 'Form declaration Public SCN as String {Bunches of code here} Private Sub cmdStart() {more code here} dim DispQuestion as new frmDispQuestion 'Create/call 2nd form here DispQuestion.Show() end sub end classFirst form calls second form which also needs to use SCN, but it doesn't recognize SCN as being declared in 2nd form. What do I need to do differently for the 2nd form to 'see' the SCN variable?
