There are several ways to handle the situation but the simplest would be to
pass it to a procedure on form2 which then calls the load event.

Form1
============================
 Dim user As uservar
 _________________________
 Sub form_load()
 user.first = "Mike"
 Text1.Text = user.first
 Form2.ShowForm(user)
 End Sub

 form2
=======================
 Dim user As uservar
 ________________________
 Sub form_load()
        Text1.Text = user.first
 End Sub

Sub ShowForm(ByVal svUser as uservar)
        user = svUser
        Me.Show
End sub
