Hi Kiri, You can access controls from other windows form.    My Assumptions: 
Two Forms 
Form1 --- Form with a button Button1 that shows another Form (Form2)
Form2 --- another Form which has a textbox1 control with a proprty Modifier = Public

you need to have the Modifier property = Public for the TextBox1 in the Form2 if you 
want to access it from another form

here i am doing only the Form1  's Button1_Click Code


 Dim frm2 As Form2 'Declare that in the declaration section of Form1

 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
Handles Button3.Click

 'these following 3 checks will ensure that you will get the same instance 
        If frm2 Is Nothing Then
            frm2 = New Form2()
            frm2.Show()
        ElseIf (frm2.IsDisposed) Then
            frm2.Show()
            frm2 = New Form2()
        Else
            frm2.Select()
        End If

        MessageBox.Show(frm2.TextBox1.Text) ' read the text from textBox1 of Form2
        frm2.TextBox1.Text = "Any Text" 'change that text in Form2

    End Sub
   Hope this helps.   Regards, Sailesh
