I have a connection on form1 of my project.

who can i use it from another form displayed as showdialog?

i've just tried do that...

formMain has the connection named as conn

from form2

Private Sub form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
formMain.conn.open()
....
end sub

but i've got a error.

thanks for any help.

Whenever you want to access an object, you need a reference. If you don't
have a reference you have to make it available. This is usually done by a
public property or as an argument of a public procedure.

Use 'DirectCast(Me.Owner, MainForm).conn.Open()'.
