OK - After my DB nightmares this should be straight forward but i cant work
it out ...

How do I get a variable (in this case the value of a text box from one form
into another ???

Either pass it or nake the variable publicly scoped so you can reference it
directly.

Stick a public property on the form that returns the value of the textbox.

What language are you using? In VB a worst alternative is to directly access
the textbox (since by default it is declared with Friend) e.g.
instanceOfForm.TextBox1.Text

So you don't know what a property is? Here is sample (air)code:

public string SomeText{
get{
return textBox1.Text;
}
}
