Answer 1

There are many many ways... Here are some...

Way 1

1. Declare a Public Variable in a Module
2. Assign to that variable in Userform1 and then launch Userform2. This variable will retain it's value. Example

In Userform1

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    MyVal = "Sid"
    UserForm2.Show
End Sub

In Userform2

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    MsgBox MyVal
End Sub

In Module

Public MyVal

Way 2

Use the .Tag property of the userform

In Userform1

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    UserForm2.Tag = "Sid"
    UserForm2.Show
End Sub

In Userform2

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    MsgBox Me.Tag
End Sub

Way 3

Add a Label in Userform2 and set it's visible property to False

In Userform1

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    UserForm2.Label1.Caption = "Sid"
    UserForm2.Show
End Sub

In Userform2

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    MsgBox Label1.Caption
End Sub
