How to load a form

**DIMMSUM** · Oct 5th, 2000, 05:04 PM

i know that this is a rather simple question and i should probably know the answer, but i have never needed to do it before. how do i load a form from an event procendure? i when it loads up (the second form) things will be executed in the load procedure.
thank you for you help.

'event procedure
Load FormWhaever
FormWhatever.Show
'and if you want the present form out of the way
FormMain.Hide

UserForm1.Show

Hope this helps

thank you much. the only problem is that i need to use the load procedure of the new form to print items on the form, but it doesn't seem to be working. any ideas?
thanks

Use the form Activate event not the load event.

Actually Load() will work. Just make sure the AutoRedraw is set to True.

Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    AutoRedraw = True
    Print "Hello"
End Sub

The AutoRedraw seems to have done the trick.
thanks megatron and everyone alse. I would never have guessed about the autoredraw
