try this:

dim test1 as new form1
dim test2 as new form2
test2.showdialog() 'will open form2
test1.close() 'will close form1 if was opened already

THat is what i type but when i go to test it it opens the form2 but does not close form1

 

[kulrom]

Where this code is stored ? Within form1 maybe?

 

[webyugioh]

i type the code in module1.vb and then i go to where the button is and type

module1.test()

About the ShowDialog method, when this method is called, the code following it is not executed until after the dialog box is closed.

So how do i make it so i click a button and the form i clicked the button on closes and the new form opens?

You could .Hide the form showing, .Show the next form, the .Close the first.
There is a setting in VS2005 for when the application shuts down, (1) when main form is closed, or (2) when last form is closed. Last option is beneficial when you are closing mainform and want to keep application running with another form.

Me.Close
