When you say "forms" I assume you mean separate aspx files. Remember that these are webpages, so only one is instantiated in memory at any given time so you really can't directly refer to a label on another form. There are several ways to pass information from page to page, but a Session variable may be a good choice. You can find plenty of documentation on the MSDN website. Try this for a starting point:
