VS 2012 NooB Question

Hello all,

I'm teaching myself VB .NET and I am having a bit of an issue.

I have a Form with two buttons...

Button 1 is where I capture the path and file name using OpenFileDialog.
Button 2 is where I want to process the file I captured from button 1.

I do not seem to be able to pass the file name from button 1 to button 2.

is there an Easy way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

-NJ
