well i encountered another problem regarding the use of 2 forms, this was the problem...i had 2 forms one the main menu and the other a second form with details, so when i clicked on the main menu form to show the other form, the other form does show up but the main menu is still there.And in the second form when i press the back command, the second form still stays there but a new main menu form shows up....here was the coding for the main menu form
the form1 is the main menu form and form 2 is the second form...so wats wrong why doesnt my other form close?
VB.NET:
dim frl as new form1
dim frm as new form2
frm.show()
frl.close()
