Control to a form...

[bios2002]

I have one centrally controlling form that needs to pass control to another form, wait for user response (ie ok or cancel buttons), return control to itself and then repeat this with another 2 forms...

I've been using

frmLocate.show vbModal

to pass control to the other form but for some reason if I use

frmLocate.Hide

it doesn't hide the form properly as it pops up when I call another form. I can't set vbModeless as the form is already showing. How do I revert control and then pass it to another form again?

TIA

Try the unload statement rather than Hide method....

Form.Hide
Unload Form

[bios2002]

I've tried that... but the form still just sits there with focus. It seems VB is returning to the line that contains the last operation on the form. eg

frmLocate.Hide
frmLocate.Show vbModal

If I add a .Hide statement before hand it returns to that. Where as without it, it returns to .Show vbModal. Shouldn't it just run onto the next line?

I don't understand it... any other ideas?
