Adding external modules to a project...need help calling them
In your module (and if they are part of your project now, they are not
external modules anymore) you will have to also reference the form that the
textbox is on. So, if your txtDns1 is on Form1, then in your Module you
would do:
value = Form1.txtDns1.Text

| The global variables part is working, however, there is another problem
now.
| I have some text boxes on my main form (e.g. txtDns1). When I try to run
| the program, I get a "Compile error: Variable not defined" and is
| referencing txtDns1. The information that is in the text box (on the main
| form) needs to be able to be accessed by the newly added module. How can
I
| make all of the information that is inputted into my text boxes (on the
main
| form) available to the code that needs to be executed by the external
| module?
