I am a newbie, MODULE AND DECLARATION HELP PLEASE!

[Cliffs0fdover]

Ok, I am pretty new to Visual Basic 2005. I am taking a course in it and we are creating a Department Store program right now. I pretty much have 90% of the program done, its just that when I try and move information as strings (name, province, postal code, etc...) from the first form, to the final form (checkout or invoice) I can never get them to appear there!

I have a module open and this is what I have:

Public fullname As String
Public information As String

I am going to only use the main two as examples.

What I am doing now (this is where I am stuck) is going to the full name text box (txtFullName) and typing this in for code:

fullname = txtFullName.text

Once I do that I go to my last form and I put in:

information = txtInformation.text
information = fullname

I don't understand what to do because the fullname never loads into the text box when I go to the last form. I need to use variables too because I have much more information that needs input.

Really appreciate it if someone could help me!

Extra info: I have 3 forms, the personal info, which has a button that moves to the ordering stage, which then moves to the final stage by a button.

I don't want anything to get too complicated like I have made it by experimenting TOO many times with different methods (none of which have worked).

I know this has a very simply solution but I am the worst at variables :S.

Thanks for reading.

Try to switch the sequence of these lines

from:

information = txtInformation.text
information = fullname

to:

information = fullname
txtInformation.text = information

What method are you using to set the "fullname" variable. is this through a click event of say a button? or a keypress event from the textbox?

If there is no button event and there is no "keypress" event tied to the textbox, then how are you setting the variable "fullname"

[Vivek_1986]

heres what i think u r looking for,
you want data that u received from form1 controls should be transfered to form3 on click event of button say ORDER.
if its so then the code is like:

Module code:
Public fullname As String

form1 code:

Private Sub btnORDER_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnORDER.Click
fullname = txtf1tbox.Text
form2.show()
End Sub

from2 code:
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Text = fullname
End Sub

I'm not sure if this is the right approach but surely you would need to use this syntax:
Form1:

Dim fullname as string
fullname = TextBox1.Text

Form2:

TextBox2.Text = Form1.fullname

I hope that this helps/makes sense. Also please let me know if this is a bad approach to use because I am still learning myself.

Try:

Module1.fullname = txtFullName.text

and every time you refer to something thats public in another form or module put the name of it before the variable.
