David,

Changing a property in one instance of a form won't change the same property in another instance. Take another look :)

>I thought that by making the variables properties of the form, and because the form was 2-Private data session, that a second instance of the form would be totally independent. Instead all these variables still seem to be public? So what is the advantage? Why not just stick to my old form with it's Public variables?
