Problem with multiple form project
I already posted this on the .NET compact framework forum, but since it might also apply to to general VS.NET discussion (this is my first project using Visual Studio, it might be the same with a Windows proyect). Anyway, I am using Visual Studio.NET 2003 to create a Pocket PC project. I am having trouble accessing any variables from the first form of the project. I have 4 forms, and each one loads when I press a particular button. Example: Form 1 is the form that automatically loads once I open the program, and once inside this form I press a button and it takes me to Form 2, etc. I use the following method to open each form:
Once I'm in the fourth form, I use the following lines to try to access the variables created in the first form:
The variables in Form 1 are all global and public, but I still can't access them. I have tried using the debugger to get a clearer error message, but for some reason the debugger sometimes fails to load up. Please help.

Dim frm As form1
Dim x As Int32
x = frm.cuenta ' This is where I get a NullReferenced Exception
