Forms question (Keep it simple)

| It is really a simple question.
Visual Basic .NET (2003)
I create 2 forms (Form1 and Form2)
I create a checkbox in Form1 (checkbox1)
I create a checkbox in Form2 (checkbox1)
I go to Form1 doubleclick on checkbox1 and alters the code
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
' here begin the alteration
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
Form2. ' here begins the problem, i want to set the control in
form2 the same as in form1
End If
End Sub
The question is very simple
Why can i not refer to a control in form2 from form1. there was no problem
in VB6

Because you did not establish a reference to the second form. VB6 gave you
a global reference, whether you used it or not. VB.Net does not hold your hand
to that extent.
This question is posted to the wrong group, however. The ...public.vb.... groups
are for questions about VB6 and prior. Look for groups with 'dotnet' in their names
for questions about .Net. For example:
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
