You need to remember that the code does not change when you renamed the form.
Since the code did not change, if it was referring to different controls as
if it was on Form A, but now it is on Form B, it is still referring form Form
A perspective. You really need to check every control on your form to make
sure it is referring to the right thing from the right perspective. Hope
I've helped a bit.
