I'm workign with multiple instances of a form for the first time and it's been going well till just now. I need to add nodes to a tree on a multiple instanced form from another modal form. When i try and add the node from the modal form it fires the Form_Load event of the form with the tree control. This was driving me nuts for awhile until i realized that I am not working with just the form itself but an instance of the form (I'm still guessing at this point but oh well). ow do I refernce a particular form if there are multiple instances?

e.g. Below, how would I make my debug statements each reference one of the 2 newly created instances if the cmdDisplayValues is located on another form?

Private Sub cmdAddForm_Click
Dim NewPatientForm1 As frmPatient
Dim NewPatientForm2 As frmPatient

   NewPatientForm1.Show
   NewPatientForm2.Show

End Sub

Private Sub cmdDisplayValues

   debug.print frmPatient.Text1.Text        'here I want NewPatientForm1
   debug.print frmPatient.Text1.Text        'here I want NewPatientForm2
   Stop

End Sub
