Closing one form when going to the next

[allyrnn]

This is driving me crazy!! All i want to do is go from form1 to form2 and have form1 close in the process. I didn't think it would be this hard, it doesn't seem like a hard task. Is it? Any ideas?

start the app from Sub Main so you can close form1 when you open form2

 

[allyrnn]

Should i put sub main() in the module?

Yes! you should put sb main in Module....

Also you may use a global Reference to the Form2. and can use form2 from that reference after the form1 is closed.

try this one.
set form2 as startup object.

 Dim frm2 As Form2
 	Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 		frm2 = Me.Owner
 	End Sub
  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
 		frm2.flag = True
 		Close()
 	End Sub
 --------------------------------
 
 Public flag As Boolean = False
 	Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 		Dim frm1 As New Form1()
 		Me.AddOwnedForm(frm1)
 		frm1.ShowDialog()
 		If flag = False Then
 			Application.DoEvents()
 		End If
 	End Sub
