can't access fom1.vb data from another module

[Patrick Sullivan]

I have a data input form with a structure that gets loaded with the input
data. I have a module calc.vb with lots of calculations to do on the data in
the structure. But I can't access the strutcure's data from the calc module,
even though both are public. What other declarations can I do to make it
accessible?

It would help to see your code. how are you trying to access the data?
Does Calc.vb module get passed a reference to Form1? If you don't
pass a form1 object to the calc functions, how it is suppose to see the
variables?

Duh, that sounds like a good idea. I am a C programmer trying to do this, C
seems more straightforward to me. Thanks!

If you are using VB 2005, you may want to use form default instances. You
can access a form's default instance using 'My.Forms.<form name>.<member
name>'.

I fixed it. Passed a referrence to the structure in the form class from the
sub procedure to the external function. Now I got other problems.
