Pass a Variable in a Form to a new form

[cjmitton]

I'm having trouble passing a variable from one form to another. I have a file path as a string declared in one form. Example: \\servers\share1\share2 I've tried to then pass the variable to the other form using FillVars like follows:
' this code runs when checkbox is true
Sub get_std_letts()
Dim SF As String
' Startfolder is declared in a different macro but is available to this macro as its a public variable
SF = StartFolder
Load frm_Clt_Letters
Call frm_Clt_Letters.FillVars(SF)
frm_Clt_Letters.Show
End sub

On the other form


Sub FillVars(ByRef s1 As String)
StartFolder1 = s1
End Sub

Startfolder1 is public declared as a string and used in the form Inilialize macro.

I've used this way of passing on a variable before and its been fine but this is not working now?

Sorry about the format, won't recognise my carriage returns?

[westconn1]

use a public module level variable
otherwise pass the string to some property of form2 before opening

Damn, should have thought of that! Get so blind to the obvious solution when I'm focused on the problem.

Thanks Westconn1
