well if these are 2 seperate forms, then you create your instance of the childform - you need to declare this childform globally.

Dim theChildForm as new Form2() 'global

then from your parent class (form1) you can access that childform, if it has been instantiated. Now, in order to access elements in the child form, it must be made public so the "outside" classes can see it. Example:

'parent form

private sub DoSomethingOnChildForm()

   if Me.theChildForm is nothing = false then

      Me.theChildForm.DoTalk()

   end if

end sub

'child form:

public sub DoTalk()

   MessageBox.Show("hi!")

end sub

is this what you are after
