close form2 from form1

I have the following code in a command button in form1:

Code:

---

        Dim frm As New Form2()
        frm.Close()

---

How can i close form2 using a command button on form1?

You can't, unless you have access to an instance of it.
Is form2 loaded by form1?

yes, i believe in the form1.load, i have a form2.show()

If I didn't get it wrongly :cool: then do this :

declare a variable in the general declaration of Form1

VB Code:

Dim frm2 As New Form2()
 
    Private Sub show_form2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,_
 ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles show_form2.Click
        frm2.Show()
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub close_form2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,_
 ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles close_form2.Click
        frm2.Close()
    End Sub

dunno if you mean that ???:rolleyes:
