Put this static field in your login form: internal static string UserName = ; Now change your checkvaliduser method slightly: public bool checkvaliduser (string a string b) { string ambi1 = SELECT * FROM Pword where Usr = ' + a + ' and Pwd = ' + b + '; OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(ambi1 conn); conn.Open(); OleDbDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); if (reader.Read()) { conn.Close(); checklogin = true; UserName = a; return true; } else { conn.Close(); return false; } } Suppose the class name of the login form is LogIn. The code to write the username to the title bar of each form will now become: string user = User:  + LogIn.UserName; foreach(Form f in Application.OpenForms) f.Text = user; Notice that the static field will still be available after the LogIn form has been closed. Notice also that if all your 4 forms are not opened at once you can set the title bar text as you open them individually with code such as this following: SomeForm f = new SomeForm(); f.Text = User:  + LogIn.UserName; f.Show();
