create an MDI Form as your main form. make all other form's IsMDIChild property to true. now you can access all the form from your main form.

Declare the form outside the method (in the global area of the main form, and then create the new form in the button handler. The then the new form object will be available globally within the main form:

Public Class MainForm As Form

Public Cf as ChForm

sub But_click()
Cf = new ChForm
Cf.show

end sub

End Class

However, keep in mind that what you want to do (directly access a control on one form from another) is really bad practice. You should be building properties on the other forms and using them to access the data provided in controls on the form as shown bellow:

Public Class MainForm As Form

Public Cf as ChForm
Private mNameData As String

sub But_click()
Cf = new ChForm
Cf.show

mNameData - Cf.NameData()

end sub

End Class

Public Class ChForm As Form

Public Property NameData() As String
Get
Return txtName.Text

End Get

Set (value as String)
  txtName.Text = value

End Set

End Property

End Class

This keeps things much cleaner and more modular.
