Does your first form have a pageframe? Did you create a pageframe with the same name on the second form too?

BTW, you can assign values directly in Property sheet, just preceed it with =.

I then created a second form, copied the date textbox from the first form, pasted it to the second form, and copied the code above into the new forms' Init() method. The new form's date textbox does not pull up any date when the form initializes.

It allows.

You can save your first form as a class, and create the second as subclass of it.

Or you can just save the second form using Save as option on the first form. This way you would have the exact copy of the first form under different name. Then you can modify it to your desire.
