Displaying Data From Database In Second Form Using First

I seem to be having a problem with displaying data in a second form. I've created a linear search algorithm which works just fine - it locates the records from the database. I now want to be able to display the record in another form, I've attempted this using the code below but it doesn't seem to work:

Public Class formSearch
Dim searchItem As String
Dim currentRecord As Integer
Dim Provider As String
Dim Source As String
[Code] .....

The commented out lines are the ones that don't seem to work. The "txtfirstname" and "txtlastname" fields are located in the coding of another form, called "formcustomers".
