You should create instances of the forms using variables, since they are, after all, just classes that should be instantiated that way anyways, e.g.,<br />
<br />
<br />
Dim f As frmMySecondForm = New frmMySecondForm()<br />
f.Show()
</div>

I know about creating new instances of the forms but I want to be able to change elements on existing forms from other forms. Any suggestions?

How to communicate between forms

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
