Passing Strings Between Forms

[Brenton]

my problem is probably a simple fix

I have 2 forms inside of FrmMain(MDI Form)
Form1 & Form2
I have a RichTextBox in each Form
I am trying to get the selected text from form1.richtextbox to form2.richtextbox

my current code is very simple

Sub form2_Initialize
richtextbox.text = frmmain.activeform.richtext.seltext
End Sub

This works fine, but If I close out form2 and highlight different text in form1.richtextbox
and open form2 again nothing appears in form2.richtextbox.

Can Anyone help me?

Why don't you put the rtf text into a module level variable, that way you can check it on form load, or whatever event you need.

Brenton - there is a FAQ on this subject.
