I don't think I'm quite grasping the concept of controlling form 1 from form 2 while both are open.
form 1 opens
form 2 opens as a show (login form)
form 1's menu is disabled til form 2 is verified and closed
it's not happening
the login is successful, but when form2 is closed and form1's menu.enable is set to true it doesn't ungrey. I'm assuming the form has to refresh?
It's possible I know it is... it's just the same as making a label on form change text but I still haven't gotten that to work either.

VB.NET:
form 1 :
Sub Page_Load
Dim frmForm2 As New frmForm2
frmForm2.Show()
End Sub
form 2:
Sub Login_Click
If txtUsername.Text = "someone" AND txtPassword.Text = "something" then
Dim frmForm1 As New frmForm1
frmForm1.Menu.enabled = true
Me.Close()
Else
txtUsername.Text = ""
txtPassword.Text = ""
lblLoginStatus = "Invalid Username/Password"
End If
End Sub
