line of code causing me problems

[cdoverlaw]

Hi
I need my program to get a password from a textbox on another form, I am currently trying to use this line of code:

epassword = frmOptions.txtEncryptPass.Text

but i get the error

An unhandled exception of type System.NullReferenceException occurred in WHM_cPanel_Launcher.exe

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

DId you create an instance of the options form? Its not like VB6 anymore, you cant do that any more.

Earlier:

dim frmOptionsInstance as new frmoptions

then your part:

epassword = frmOptionsInstance.txtEncryptPass.Text

As i had created an instance of the form already on my main form )(first to be opened) i just have the line

Dim frmOptions As frmOptions

Ok, i just found out you were right, weird i didnt think that would be a problem, anyway thanks,
