switching forms

[altrods]

I m new to visual basic and am taking a class I m trying to switch forms in a document there are 6 forms and i want to change to the other form by clicking a button i used the open command but it tells me that the form is already open when i run the programm is there anything i can do.

[Rogier]

IS the form realy open then?
If yes, you can add

On Error Resume Next

so it give not an error.

its all the same project like they are in a list form1 form2 all in the same project and when i run it only the first form pops up and i want to make it so i can open and close the other forms.

[Rogier]

Very easy.
Put this in a button or what:

Form2.Show vbModal

And you'll see that Form2 will show.

modal won't let you open any other forms until you close the modal one. make sure that is what you want to do.

[Rogier]

Try this buddy!

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form1.Hide
Form2.Show
End Sub

I was just trying to figure that out myself so I thought I would pass it on to you! Let me know how it works!
