I have created form resembling a standard dialog box where some enters there name into a text box and then hits 'ok' taking them to the main form..On this form I need to get the name that is typed into the text box to be displayed on the main form.

How do I go about doing this?

The standard dialog box form is named frmInput and the text box is named txtName
The label where the Name is be displayed on the main form (frmSquare) is named Label1

Several ways in which to do this and here are three...

1.) (Pass) Add a module and declare a public string variable and when user hits ok, you set the variable with the string you want. Then when the other form loads, that form retrieves the value and displays it in your label.
Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 'module code
  2. Option Explicit
  3.  
  4. Dim MyString As String
  5. '------------
  6. 'form that accepts input
  7. Option Explicit
  8.  
  9. Private Sub Command1_Click()
  10. MyString = Text1.Text
  11. Form2.Show
  12. Unload Me
  13. End Sub
  14. '--------------
  15. 'main form that displays input
  16. Option Explicit
  17.  
  18. Private Sub Form_Load()
  19. Label1.Caption = MyString
  20. End Sub

2.) (Push) From the form that recieves the input you can directly set the value of the label.
Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Option Explcit
  2.  
  3. Private Sub Command1_Click()
  4. Load Form2
  5. Form2.Label1.Caption = Text1.Text
  6. Form2.Show
  7. End Sub

3.) (Pull) When user clicks OK you hide the input form, show the display form and pull the information from the input form.
Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 'input form
  2. Option Explicit
  3.  
  4. Private Sub Command1_Click()
  5. Me.Hide
  6. Form2.Show
  7. Unload Me
  8. End Sub
  9. '-----------------
  10. 'Display Form
  11. Option Explicit
  12.  
  13. Private Sub Form_Load()
  14. Label1.Caption = Form1.Text1.Text
  15. End Sub




Good Luck

Hey V, if you look closely you will see that is the same code that I labeled as 2.) (Push)... and if you read my post that is not just one example but three...

I agree with vb5prgrmr, Sample 1 (PASS) is the easiest and safest way of having the name available for ANY form...
Please mark questions as answered when done.

Be the ONE!!!
