Question about forms

my program has two forums. One form is the startup form and it has a button that will open another form and set some variables up. I want to add abutton on the second form that when clicked, it will close itself and then reopen the first form and basically set everything to 0 or null. I'm not sure how to do this, because when the second form is running, the first form is in the ".hide" state. Any ideas?

You can do something like this

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim frm1 as Form1 'Replace Form1 wit ur 1st Form name ;)
        'Close the Main form with 
        frm1.close 'We do this w/o an error cuz v kno the form is already loaded. Then
        Dim frmn1 as new Form1
        frmn1.show()
End sub

p.s. I kno its kinda crude....plz dont quote that ;)

VB Code:

'in your first form button click event
dim s as string="blah..blah"
dim i integer=3
dim f as new form2()
f.showdialog()
'after showdialog now set your variables to 0 or null
s=""
i=0
