I don't like this method, because everything is public and in large
projects it can be a source of problems.
My advice is to include public methods in the form you want to use from
another.

On form1 put that:

Public Sub SetTextArea1(myText as String)
	me.TextArea1.Text = myText
End Sub

Then, on form2, you can add these lines where you need:

[....]
	Form1.SetTextArea1("Hello world!!")
[....]

Hope be useful

In the menu editor, add a menu entry where you want, and clear the
caption
