[RESOLVED] Will Me.Close execute twice?

I'm cleaning up the code in some projects, doing things like moving Me.Close to Finally when both the Try & Catch end by closing the form.

Theoretically, this project should probably run from a Sub Main but it's built with a user login form as the startup form-so everything runs from that form & when it closes the application ends. I'll try to summarize the code:

Code:

---

Try
  If Invalid_Password Then
      Me.Close
  End If
  Me.Hide
  NextForm.ShowDialog
Catch
  Show_Error
Finally
  Me.Close
End Try

---

Now, my question is if the password is invalid will it try to close the form twice & if so will it cause a problem? If not then what would be the best way to handle this? (Other than eliminating the Finally block & ending both Try & Catch with Me.Close)

I could, I suppose, put Me.Hide & ShowDialog in an Else clause but there's considerable code in between that I left out in the summary. I don't know about you, but personally I hate IF/Else blocks with more than 5-10 lines of code.

Thanks.

Yes, the call would be made twice. I would do this:

Code:

---

Try
    If Not Invalid_Password Then
      Me.Hide
      NextForm.ShowDialog
    End If
Catch
    Show_Error
Finally
    Me.Close
End Try

---

As I mentioned, the two lines in the summary are 'shorthand' for a considerable body of code. I'd really prefer to find a clean way of ending the program in the If block. Or, I can go back to the original form:

Code:

---

Try
  If Invalid_Password Then
      Me.Close
  End If
  Me.Hide
  NextForm.ShowDialog
  Me.Close
Catch
  Show_Error
  Me.Close
End Try

---

It looks wrong (like it should use a Finally block) but I could always add a comment explaining why it doesn't.

Thanks.

Code:

---

Try
  If Invalid_Password Then
      Exit Try
  End If
  Me.Hide
  NextForm.ShowDialog
Catch
  Show_Error
End Try
'what code is here?
'if it is end sub then won't you get .Close here?

---

Thank you. I think Exit Try is what I was looking for. IIRC the Finally block always executes, even following Exit Try, which is what I want.

Yes, I could put .Close following End Try but I don't like having code outside Try/Catch blocks-no error checking.

I was asking what was after the end try statement?

End Sub-but I don't see why that's relevant. You seem to suggest that End Sub will automatically close the form-but it doesn't. It would if this were a Sub Main, but it isn't. It's a startup form so End Sub simply returns to displaying the form.

i thought it was the other way around
