Thanks, right now my fixes are usally a bit more complex than they need to be. Ive been out of the programing game for about 6 years and Ive only been working for about 2 months on it now, so I forgot a LOT of the little stuff.

static is exactly what I needed for now, I really only have 1 public variable class, and actually im going to need ALL of my classes and forms to at least be able to read the data off of the variables, some will manipulate the data.

Once I really get the main function down to this program its really just adding user defined inputs that will be stored in a global variable till its passed to a queue to be sent to the serial port. Thanks for Static again. I was just about to ask the question and I saw there was already an answer!
