passing text from one frame/page to another

[Timmins]

I have a date in a frame/page that i want to pass to another page. I can succefully pass a static value, i just can't pass a value from a text box.

I tried to make everything public. I believe that Me. may only refer to the page that is orginating the action. But how do I pass the text box. Can we assume since I can pass the static value, that the issue is how I grab the textbox value

the Error i get is
Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Here's the Property that is giving me trouble:

Protected WithEvents MsgLbl As System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Labe l
Public WithEvents ToDate As System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Text Box
Public WithEvents FromDate As System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Text Box
Public DatePublicVar As String

Public ReadOnly Property FromDateTxt() As String
Get
'DatePublicVar = "12/12/2004" ' This Works
DatePublicVar = Me.FromDate.Tex t 'this doesn't
Return DatePublicVar
End Get

End Property

Thanks, I'm an old vb guy who still hasn't found out how to do some obvious tasks

unless your form is called "me" no this wont work

if your text box in in a form
form1.texbox1.v alue

if not its
texbox1.value

Your control, FromDate, is probably out of scope.

You should ask this question a DotNet group.
