Hi there, I'm trying to create a commerce program, when the program loads the user is faced with a main screen, when a user selects a button i want the new form to open and the last one to close, I can open a new form no problem yet i cant get the old one to close, Ive tried the following options.

CODE


Dim f1 As New Form 1 (this is the new form)
f1.show()
Dim f2 As New Form 2 (old form)
f2.close()



I have also tried .hide yet nothing the old form just remains open

I've even tried this code in the new form window yet no joy.

Anybody have any ideas

Thanks for reading

I was going to say that in the form you're closing you dont need to create an instance of that form, you can just use:


CODE

Form2.Show()
Me.Hide()



You only need to create an instance of another form if you're trying to access controls or methods on that form.

jabarian, please do not create duplicate topics. I have gone ahead and deleted your other topic in ASP.NET.

Glad you were able to find a solution.
