Store your global variables in a Module1.vb file, they must be publicly declared to be accessible from all forms:

Public X as String
Public Y as Integer

Then just use them as you would any other variable on any page:

X = "Hello"
Y = 10

Textbox1.Text = X
Textbox2.Text = Y

It's not the safest practice so it shouldn't be used for all your variables. But it is very neat and simple.
