I have a form and what it does right now is when the user clicks the add button, a second form opens asking for how many copies. When the user chooses a number and clicks the button on that form it closes and returns a value. But in the sub that calls the second form, I want it to now continue with the code until the second form has closed and a value has returned so I can use the value in the code after. Is this possilble?
Show the popup form using ShowDialog() and it will block the calling method until the form is closed (set its DialogResult property to indicate the returned value, or add your own property).
penagate is right. Here is a link to a thread where I asked a similar question and there is some example code...

That can't happen if I understood correctlyQuote:

I think the OP meant "not" rather than "now".
Yes sorry not is correct. Thank you all for the posts.
Can you have a showdialog to open a new form, and within it also have another showdialog? I cannot seem to get it to work.
Yeah you can. Pretty straightforward. Show your code, you might be doing something wrong. And you might be getting an error. And it might be helpful if you told us what the error is
