[_HAWK_]

Hi all,
I am using then IIF command and want to reference a textbox value from a different form that is part of my project.

Ami2Mg.Text = CStr(IIf((CDbl(wtbox.Text) * CDbl(Ami2Dos.Text)) < CDbl(Ami2.TextBox1.Text), (CDbl(wtbox.Text) * CDbl(Ami2Dos.Text)), "150"))

Ami2.textbox1 is the textbox on the Ami2 Form.


I get a system.innerException with this format. Stating it referred to itself when building the form?

I am using this form to change values when needed - like a default storage. I know probably not the right way, but until I learn this is what I got...Thanks for the help.

Basic format of referencing Form objects
<Form Name>.<Control Name>.<Value Name>
Example code

MainForm.TheTextBox.Text=OtherForm.OtherTextbox.Text

If the above code is inside MainForm you can use

Me.TheTextbox.Text=OtherForm.OtherTextbox.Text

or

TheTextBox.text=OtherForm.Textbox.text

and if the example is in OtherForm

MainForm.TheTextBox.Text=Me.OtherTextbox.Text

or

MainForm.TheTextBox.Text=OtherTextbox.Text
