PLEASE HELP!!! Parent Forms and their Children

[Draez]

I have a main form that first checks if a "ini" file exists...if it doesnt it creates a child form and asks a question and then takes the answer and puts it in a "ini".

The problem is it won't return back to the parent without and error once it gets the value and makes the "ini" file from within the child form.

I tried changing the focus back to form1 but no good.

I called the child form with this command: Form2.Show vbModal, Form1

if i do a 'form1.show' from within form2 (child) command it shows the parent (form1) form but it just sits there till i click on it and then after i do it gives me an error!

any help would be greatly appreciated. i only have a few strands of hair left =)

Are you unloading the child form?

Create an "Close" button and in the click event put the following:
