Hi there,

I need to fill in data on one form and have it appear on another form, like a sales report.Could somebody help me with actually creating and naming the second form and then making sure that data taken on first form appears as a sales report in the second form.

Any help or tips wpold be greatly appreciated.

If you want to do a report have you thought about using Crystal Reports? If you have Visual Studio it is free to use.

I am not able to use crystal at the moment and am looking for an alternative way of doing it.

There are a number of different ways you can do it. Probably the easiest, provided you only have a few pieces of information you want passed, would be to create properties on your second form (we'll call it frmReport) and then pass those values from your first form to your second form once you've initialized it.

dim new frmReport as Form2
frmReport.Total = me.txtTotal.text
frmReport.ItemID = me.txtItemID.text
frmReport.CustID = me.txtCustID.text


You could also create a structure with all the pieces of information you want to pass. Then declare variables on both forms that are of this type you just created and just pass it back and forth.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much, that does help.

Much appreciated
