Chip/Jim:

Thank you for the direction. After a few iterations and trial and error, it
works now! Thanks again.

First of all, I would avoid using "Name" as the variable name, as
this is a property name of many objects; using "Name" will cause
confusion. Don't declare the Public variable in the userform's
module. Declare it in a regular code module instead.

I have a UserForm that captures the users name, I am trying to
pass that
information to another UserForm. I'm assuming that is possible
using the
Public declarations, but I am obviously having problems. Here
is my example
code

Public Name As String
________________________________
Private Sub OKButton_Click()
Name = NameBox1

UserForm4.Hide
End Sub
________________________________

'Name gets passed to this UserForm

________________________________
Private Sub SignOffButton_Click()
MsgBox Name

Unload UserForm5
End Sub
________________________________

Do I need to declare the variables Public in UserForm5 also?
Are they
declared in the right place? Should the subs be name Public
instead of
Private? etc. My MsgBox is returning empty. Any help is
greatly
appreciated.
