form.show and pass parameter to the form

[Agnes]

in my main_form (with menubar), i can call myInvoiceForm. However, I need to
pass the parameter to the invoice form. I had declared a public property in
myInvoiceForm.
BUT,I can't set the value to the property in myMainForm. so. How can i
call the invoice and then pass the invoice not to it ???
Thanks

It doesn't work if i declare 'dim with event myInvoiceForm as form"
It works only if i declare "dim myInvoiceForm as new invoice form" <--- BUT
this didn't make the menu 's enabled = false

That's right. If myInvoiceForm is only declared as a Form object, then your
added property will not be "visible". It will not be aware of what you've
added, since it thinks it is only a standard form.

Do you see the difference?
