if i have a form1, with say an editbox1 in it, and i want to reference
the text in editbox1 from another form (say form2), which is shown
when a button on form1 is clicked, how do i do it?

If i put form2 in the uses of form1, (so i can make button1 on form1
open form2)
and i put form1 in the uses of form2, (so i can make form2 reference
the edit box on form1) i get a circular unit reference error when
compiling?

any ideas?

solved it - i was putting the form names in the wrong uses section - i
was putting it under interfaces not implementation! d'oh!
