When Writing A A Recursive File Search Sub On A Form2 I Tryed To Transfer This Data From Form2.List1 To Form1.List1. The Problem Is I Never Tried This Before And I Could Never Get It To Work.

I Know How To Do It For TextBoxes

Any Tips On How To Do This Or If It Can Be Done For A ListBox?

Just load the form in the background but don't show it ... then you will have access to the members, e.g.

'  Declare the form holder
Dim myForm2 as Form2

'  Now create the form
Set myForm2 = new Form2

'  Fill the data
myForm2.txtValue = "ABC"

'  Now it's populated, show it
myForm2.Show vbModal, me


Similar but better than above is that after the "new" just call a form function passing in yourself and get the form to copy in the data it requires, e.g.:



'  Declare the form holder
Dim myForm2 as Form2

'  Now create the form
Set myForm2 = new Form2

'  Fill the data
myForm2.PopulateMyself( me )

'  Now it's populated, show it
myForm2.Show vbModal, me

Does that sample work with a listbox?

if so i will try it later.

No ... that just shows how you pass object X to object Y.

Why are you copying the data?

Why not just pass the Listbox to your search routine then you only have to keep the data once.

well.

right now everything is on form1, so i am fine.

but, i was in form1, [Search]

Command_Search_Click() >>> -> form2

In form2 do all the search, fill up the listbox in form2 then when the user is done, [EXIT] >>>---> Pass List info to form1 listbox

Are You Saying:

when doing the search do not add the "New Info" to the form2 listbox add it to the form1.list1?

form1.list1.additem (new info to add to listbox)

I did not think of this and it may work.
