Unload Form1

I have form1 and form2.

In Form1 load event I do this:

dim aForm as new Form2
aForm.Show

I have a button in form2. I've tried;

form1.close

but this code doesn't work!

please correct me.

does it recognize Form1 from Form2? Like in Form2 when you type Form1. does a list pop up as possible actions to take?

If Form1 is the startup form of your proj , and you used Close() method , it will close the application not the form . Use instead , Hide() or Visible() methods set to False .

In the form1 class , declare a private variable:

Private aForm as Form2

when you want to show form2 use:

aForm = New Form2
aForm .Show

when you want to close the form use:

aForm .Close

Basically, aForm was out of scope, and obvously, in production code, you should use a more descriptive names than 'aForm ' and 'Form2';:)

Instead of

From1.close

try

Unload Form1
