VB.NET - Placing text in a textbox on a child form from another child form

[MickT]

On an MDI application in VB.NET, I have one child form with a multiline text box.

I am opening another child form, from the first form, as a "help" to create a SQL statement on the first form, by double-clickiing on field names in a listview.

In VB6 it was possible to send the field name clicked on to the textbox on the first form, but I can't get that to work in VB.NET.

Has anyone any ideas, please?

i really didnt understood ur question but i think u want to place the text value from the mdichild1 to another mdichild2...

i think u need to create an instance of the mdichild2 in mdichild1 in order to access any control in mdichild2 like the textbox...

i dont know if this is what ur looking for but i hope this helps

Thanks Vinci. I have tried "frmQueries = new frm Query" but although the textbox seems to hold the value inserted, it isn't displayed. I've tried "Application.DoEvents" but that doesn't help either.
