    Forms *Resolved*

    I am stuck I have 2 forms Form1 and Form2. Form1 is an mdichild
    what is happening is depending on what item is selected from a combobox on Form1 will open Form2 so that info can be entered. the problem is form2 keeps going behind Form1 and the forms freak out a bit.

    I have tried

    Code:
    Form2.show
    Code:
    Form2.show , Form1
    Code:
    Form2.show
Form2.setfocus
    and i keep gting errors. Should form2 be and Mdichild or what.
    oh on form2 i am enabled =false some frames depending on the item in the combobox

    can anyone help.

    if you aint using Form2 as an mdi child , you can do this...
    VB Code:
    1. Form2.Show vbModal
    but the window will stay on top of the parent untill you close it.

    When does Form2 go behind Form1? When it is first shown or later? What do you mean when you say "the forms freak out a bit"?

    You should still be able to reference anything that is Public on Form1 by doing Form1.MyVar or Form1.MyControl.
