Modal Forms?

[Cosmictej]

HI all,
Im having problems, on my form when I press a button which links to another pages using

Form_reg.hide
frmnokia.show

It says sumthing about linking to a non modal form and wont do it, can someone please help, thanks

[Pino]

hmm could you post your progect?

try unloading frmreg rather than hiding it

Hmmm...
Is there a modal form already showed?
For example are you doing this?

Private Sub Form_Load()
frmMain.Show vbModal
End Sub
'The code bottom of this comment is on frmMain
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form1.Show 'This will generate an error because frmMain is showed modaly

[Cosmictej]

there is nothing in the form load to make it modal, all thats in the form load is this

Private Sub Form_Load()
ver = version.Text
 
Text3.Text = VolumeSerialNumber("C:\")
linecount = 1
On Error GoTo nolicence
Open "Licence.txt" For Input As #1
Do While Not EOF(1)
Input #1, MyChar
Text5.Text = Text5.Text + MyChar + vbCrLf
linecount = linecount + 1
Loop
Close #1
user = GetTextBoxLine(Text5, 0)
pass = GetTextBoxLine(Text5, 1)
If GenKey(ver + "tejpal" + user) = GetTextBoxLine(Text5, 1) Then
Frame1.Visible = False
frmNokia.Caption = frmNokia.Caption + " <" + user + ">"
Frame3.Visible = True
Label2.Caption = "Welcome " + user
Exit Sub
End If
Exit Sub
nolicence:
MsgBox "Invalid key.", vbInformation, "Invalid Username/Password"
End Sub

And whats in the button is

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Unload (Form_Reg)
frmnokia.show
End Sub

I dont understand the problem, please help

It doesn't matter what is in the form load as that has nowt to do with showing the form.

Dim frmNew As frmMain
   Set frmNew = New frmMain 'Forms initialise event fires
   Load frmNew 'Forms load event fires
   frmNew.Show vbModal 'Activate event fires
   Set frmNew = nothing

Woof

[Cosmictej]

whats that code?

[Wokawidget]

Code to load and show a form...

Woof

[Cosmictej]

Dim frmNew As frmMain
   Set frmNew = New frmMain 'Forms initialise event fires
   Load frmNew 'Forms load event fires
   frmNew.Show vbModal 'Activate event fires
   Set frmNew = nothing

Would frmnew become the form its on which is form_reg?
