Hi,

does anyone know how to pass an array between forms ?

I tried ....

--- FORM 1 ---

Public Array(2) As byte
Array(0) = 1
Array(1) = 5
Public HowMany As byte = 2

Dim NextForm As New Form
NextForm.Array = Array
NextForm.HowMany = HowMany
NextForm.Show()

--- FORM 2 ---
Public Array() As byte
Public HowMany As byte

Redim preserve Array(HowMany)

MessageBox.show (Array(1))

..... but it doesn't work ...

Thanx

John

well there are lots of ways
delcare the array in a mod class so every form has access to it
make the array public
Make the array a property

depends on what your trying to do
