when me.close() doesn't close form.

[tcl4p]

I have a situation where me.close() doesn't close the form. I have a form with a button with the code seen below. What happens when the button is clicked is the new form shows, but the original form(calling form) is still there. When I go into debug mode, I can see the me.close() execute, but nothing happens (calling form stays open). When I close the second form both forms close. If I comment out the call for the second form to open the first form closes without problem.
Can someone explain this behavior and tell me what can be done about it?

Thanks,
Tom

Private Sub cmdNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdNext.Click
Dim f As New frmOrder3

Me.Close()
f.ShowDialog()

End Sub

Hello.

ShowDialog is blocking everything else, 'cause the cmdNext_Click procedure is waiting for he return value of it. Try Show() instead.
