ahhhh thankyou yes that worked, should really have noticed that, thankyou

heres an update of my problem since i have tried to change it a little... i have two simple forms, the first just has just a button on which opens the 2nd form so the 2 forms are open at the same time. On this 2nd form i then have a text box and another button, the user will enter some text into the textbox and then press the button. Once this button is pressed i would like the text to be passed to the first form. I have tried using the following code... Form1:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
string text;

    public Form1(string receivedText)
    {
        text = receivedText;
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void button1\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Form2 f = new Form2();
        this.Hide();
        f.Show();
    }

    private void Form1\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (text == "")
        {
        }
        else
        {
            label1.Text = text;
        }
    }       
}

Form2:

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

    private void button1\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Form1 f = new Form1(textBox1.Text);
        this.Hide();          
    }       
}

This does not seem to work though and i get the error..." 'Pass.Form1' does not contain a constructor that takes '0' arguments.

the two forms are open at the same time which is why i am having trouble...i've tried passing them using the constructor but this doesn't seem to work and i just get the error coming back saying..." 'Pass.Form1' does not contain a constructor that takes '0' arguments"
