    I think we should all take a moment to give thanks to Jupitermedia and VBWire for being gracious enough to give us this life-changing inspirational news.

    We should also sacrifice a goat.

    I've read it over 4 times so far! The depth they go into is just so complex I have to read the same sentence over and over to ensure I grasp it!

    I can explain it in one sentance.
    Unload, errrrm well it unloads the form. DESTROYS it, kills it, GONE, never to return, Form.Hide hides it, like errrm, its invisible, one can make it reappear with unhide.

    That is two sentences. You must bend over before the Gods of VB and prepare for your punishment.

    VB Code:
    1. What is the difference between Form1.Hide and Unload Me?

    Ahh, you are impetuous young scout. To become true noble warrior you must open your mind. Understand this, the difference is that of pretending to be asleep on the one hand while having your enemies fire arrows into your still twitching cadaver on the other. In essence, if you ponder such fundamentals too long then you'll end up a VB6 programmer. Then you'll never make it to Valhalla. Not even if you die with a copy of MSDN in your hand. You have much to learn. Launder my loincloth while you're here.
    I don't live here any more.

    Re: What is the difference between Form1.Hide and Unload Me?

    The difference between .Hide and Unload is like the difference between David Copperfield and Jimmy Hoffa. One will disappear, only to show up again later (generaly in a Las Vegas casino show of some sort.) The other is long gone, never to be heard from again.

    Well, Unload DOESN'T... DESTROYS it, kills it, GONE, never to return..... The variables are still available in the form either with or without Loading it again.
