HELP WITH DATAGRID

COMPCAD

i have two forms: form1 has a textbox which will have the data string that needs to be passed threw the button control also on form1 and when clicked is passed to form2 and then sent to a datagrid1. i want to search for certain records from that datagrid. i am using vb2008 and i found some code listed below and was woundering if i am on the right track.

me.textbox1.text = form1.textbox1.text
and instead of: form1.textbox1.text
have the code read
me.textbox1.text = form1.datagrid1.text
and put it into the button on form1

in the datagrid i used the query builder and created a sql statement and put the textbox1.text into the where clause.
could you if you answer my message send it to my email address at compcad@aol.com or could you email me and tell me where it is posted, or could you send me to someone that could help me.
thank you
