Really simple question

[ronman1123]

okay been messing around with this for an hour and for some reason can't figure it out.

i have a form that when finiished closes then opens another form
i want to later call the form load event of the first form to redisplay it how do i call that from the second form?

it's probably something really stupid that i'm missing but any help will be greatly appreciated

Huh? Are you trying to show one form fro the other?

Dim frm As New MyFromNameHere
frm.Show

Remember though if you close the 'main' form of the application then everything will close.

does .show in vb.net reload the form though?
i know in vb six it didn't is why i've been trying to find a way to call the load event since there is no mroe .load in .net

Yes (basically) see in VB6 you almost always loaded only 1 instance of a form but now in .NET forms are like every other object and need to be instanced so the As New part actually creates a New form.
