   To amplify on Mr. Earley's response.   
      
   There are several other mechanisms you might employ to "pass variables".   
   If you need a form to have some unique runtime information when loaded you   
   could create a "Init" method in the other form then call it before showing   
   the form.   
       Dim frmTwo As FSecondForm   
       Set frmTwo = New FSecondForm   
       frmTwo.Init Var1, Var2, Var3   
       frmTwo.Show   
      ...   
   You can possilbly carry this method a bit farther and create a 'Constructor'   
   with the 'Init' actually calling itself to open.   
      
   Another method is to actually pass a Reference of the first form to the   
   second and let the second form query it. (Usually a moderately bad idea as   
   sooner or later you will end up with circular references if you aren't   
   careful. )
