I've heard that using PUBLIC variables is not a good idea, that it is better to use properties instead. I don't understand this. How do I set the properties of a form that is loaded from another form. For example, in the first form the user enter some data or checks some boxes and clicks OK. In the click event of the OK command box I want to load a form depending on what the user entered, and I want this form to have certain properties set depending on what the user selected.

Is this information in the manual?
