There are various ways of doing this.

Public variable
priviate property on 2nd userform
reading the information from the 1st userform

Can you post what you currently have

He gives an error on fMainForm.AddSelected Selectedserver.Text I tried using call but that doesn't work also.

As can be seen their is more on both forms but as in my previous thread you can't use that code because of a missing dll.

I now also have a Module1 added in which i make my mainform public or atleast i try too....
