Passing value to another form not working at second time

I am working on Visual Basic with a Login_Form. I would like to pass a value from Login_Form to TableSelection. It works for the first time, but when I log out and login again. The TableSelection get the same value as the first time I passed.

Here's my code: idNumber is the public variable in the TableSelection 

Private Sub LoginButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoginButton.Click
   Select Case EmployeeIDTextBox.Text.Substring(0, 1)
      Case 1
          MainScreen.Show()
      'Number starts with 2 takes user to waiter screen
      Case 2
          TableSelection.idNumber = EmployeeIDTextBox.Text.Substring(1, 1)
          TableSelection.Show()
   End Select
   Me.Hide()
End Sub

The login works with different EmployeeID, but the TableSelection does not update the ID

One way to do this is to pass the integer into Form2 from Form1 as shown below:

Public Class Form1
  Dim IntFromForm1 As Integer = 2

  Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Using Form2 As New Form2(IntFromForm1)
      Form2.ShowDialog()
    End Using
  End Sub
End Class

Public Class Form2
  Dim MyForm2Int As Integer

  Public Sub New(ByVal MyIntFromForm1 As Integer)
    InitializeComponent()
    MyForm2Int = MyIntFromForm1
  End Sub

  Private Sub Form2_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    MsgBox(MyForm2Int)
  End Sub
End Class
