Help With an Error

[jerz4lunch]

From this Sub, what would cause the form to close when I run this code? This code will run when I click on the "Submit" button on my application.

Private Sub bSub_Clicker()
 
        Dim tempDir As String = dir.Text
        Dim lastChar As String
        Dim tempFile As String = file.Text
        Dim response As MsgBoxResult
        Dim checker As String = ""
 
        If System.IO.File.Exists(dir.Text & "\" & file.Text & ".txt") = False Then
            lastChar = HWFunctions.getLast(dir.Text)
            If lastChar = "\" Then
                response = MsgBox("The file " & tempDir & tempFile & ".txt does not exist." _
                                  & vbCrLf & "Would you like it to be created for you?", 4)
            End If
            If lastChar <> "\" Then
                response = MsgBox("The file " & tempDir & "\" & tempFile & ".txt does not exist." _
                                  & vbCrLf & "Would you like it to be created for you?", 4)
            End If
            If response = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
                If System.IO.Directory.Exists(dir.Text) = False Then
                    Try
                        System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(dir.Text)
                    Catch ex As ArgumentException
                        MsgBox("Please input a directory name.")
                        checker = "something"
                    End Try
                End If
                If checker = "" Then
                    lastChar = HWFunctions.getLast(dir.Text)
                    Try
                        If lastChar = "\" Then
                            System.IO.File.Create(tempDir & tempFile & ".txt")
                        ElseIf lastChar <> "\" Then
                            System.IO.File.Create(tempDir & "\" & tempFile & ".txt")
                        End If
                    Catch ex As UnauthorizedAccessException
                        MsgBox("Access to the current directory is denied.")
                        checker = "something"
                    End Try
                    My.Settings.chosenDir = dir.Text
                    My.Settings.chosenFileName = file.Text
                End If
 
            End If
 
            If response = MsgBoxResult.No Then
                MsgBox("Please choose another directory.")
                checker = "something"
            End If
        Else
            My.Settings.chosenDir = dir.Text
            My.Settings.chosenFileName = file.Text
 
            If hw.Visible = False Then
                hw.Show()
            End If
 
            Me.Hide()
        End If
 
 
 
        If checker = "" Then
            If hw.Visible = False Then
                hw.Show()
            End If
 
            Me.Hide()
        End If
 
    End Sub

Best to set a break point and step thru the code. One guess is Me.Hide()

[jmcilhinney]

It depends on exactly what you mean by "close". As KI suggests, Hide is obviously going to make the form disappear from the screen. As I suggested in your other thread, please provide a FULL and CLEAR description of the problem. That would include EXACTLY what you expect to happen and EXACTLY what does happen.

I'd say it doesn't close but it's hidding and that is caused by one of the "Me.Hide" lines!
