switching forms

I m new to visual basic and am taking a class I m trying to switch forms in a document there are 6 forms and i want to change to the other form by clicking a button i used the open command but it tells me that the form is already open when i run the programm is there anything i can do.

IS the form realy open then?
If yes, you can add

VB Code:

On Error Resume Next

so it give not an error.

its all the same project like they are in a list form1 form2 all in the same project and when i run it only the first form pops up and i want to make it so i can open and close the other forms.

Very easy.
Put this in a button or what:

VB Code:

Form2.Show vbModal

And you'll see that Form2 will show.

thanks :)

np ;)

modal won't let you open any other forms until you close the modal one. make sure that is what you want to do.

ooh, I didn't know that :cool:

Now you do. Anything else?

I don't............maybe altrods?

I don't understand. :wave:

Try this buddy!

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form1.Hide
Form2.Show
End Sub

I was just trying to figure that out myself so I thought I would pass it on to you! :wave: Let me know how it works!
