closing forms

[mmarkym]

This may be a stupid question but inside a button event handler, I want to open another form and close the current form. I tried me.close and then form.open but both forms close.

I the first form you are trying to close is your apps main form then your app will exit. rather than close it just hide it.

Open Close Forms

I had same problem but changed the 'project'; 'projectproperties'; 'application'; 'shutdown mode:' to "when last form closes"....as long as you do form1.show() before me.close() it seems to work fine, with 2 form anyway .

yes, but that's only if you're using vb 2005. seanhepburn2002 hasnt specified which version he's using which is why we assuming it's vb 2002/2003
