Diego,

If you close a form all its "data" or objects are released. You can hide the
form and still access the data/objects on the form by passing a reference of
it to the second form. eg

in frmForm1:

frmForm2 Form2 = new frmForm2(this);
Form2.Show();

in frmForm2:

public frmFrom2(frnForm1 myCallingForm)
{
etc
}

You can't close it and keep it's data. Try just hiding it or pass the data
to the new form before closing.
