Thanks I got it working by using the method you provided, the non VB.NET
method. But I had a question about the VB.NET method. Looking at your code
above wouldn't I need to put frmPrint.optCurrent.Value instead of just optCurrent.Value
. Isn't that similar to what I'm doing in vb6?? I tried your code with just
optCurrent.Value but I get an object required error because it doesn't know
what it is.

That code should be in frmPrint, not frmMain. The Property Get and Property
Let together create a property for frmPrint. If you put the Property Get
and Property Let in frmMain, it would be a property of frmMain, not frmPrint.
To get it to work, place the code in frmPrint. Then in frmMain you can
do this:

In frmMain:

If frmPrint.UseCurrent = True Then
'So Something
End If
