Although I agree with John Saunders, one thing you may be doing wrong, assuming that you have everything accessible through public modifiers, is that you don't have the instance of that form.

For example, this is how you would do it:

Form1 myForm = new Form1;
string theButtonTextIAmLookingFor = myForm.MyButton.Text;

I am assuming that you may be trying to access it like it's static, like this:

string theButtonTextIAmLookingFor = Form1.MyButton.Text;

Just something you might want to check.
