This worked great.

>>In Visual FoxPro if I wanted to have a global variable available to all forms I would create a property on the screen, then it would be accessible by all forms. How do you do this type of global variable access in VB.NET? For example, I have a customer form. When the user selects a customer on that form then activates a customer orders form, I want the orders from to display data for the selected customer. The Customer Orders form is called from the main menu not from the customer form, so I can't pass a parameter.
