Form1 is opened with textbox1 and button1
When pressing button1, form2 opens to allow searching in a database.
Results of form2 search are listed in listview1.
selecting the required reslt is by clicking the desired item in listview1.
Now.. I need to pass the result to textbox1 in form1 that is already opened.
How?
Dim F2 as New Form2()
F2.ShowDialog
Textbox1.Text = F2.ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text
Too mutch work to be done... will resolve to conflicts for public variables will increase rapidly
Thanks anyway 
Hi, Public Sub setText(newText as String) 'Inside the click event of listview
In your form1, you could create a method to set the text in your textbox:
text1.Text = newText
End SubJust call this function in the event of you listbox this way.
Dim myForm As Form1 = DirectCast(Me.Owner, Form1)
myForm.setText(listview.Text <Or whatever the result is>)
' end snippet
BTW, in showing your form2, you must ust the form2.Show(this) method so that the owner would be set to form1...
cheers,
