Switching between forms

[kel_e]

Hello I'm pretty new at visual basic and I can't seem to figure out how to switch between forms.. I want to be able to click a Next button and proceed to my other form. any helps or hints would be appreciated.

Put this into the Command button:

formname.show

replace formname with the name of that form.

Well now i have another question I want the other form to close when the other opens..

I figure you would just say Form1.Close() or Me.Close() but this closes all the forms.. how can i change that

hide.me

I think .... =/

or try

formname.hide

[si_the_geek]

That will not close the form, but simply hide it - which uses (and perhaps wastes) memory, and may stop the program from closing when it is finished.

Unless you have a particular reason for keeping it open, you should unload it:

Unload Me

or:

Unload Form1

..and that should be followed by Exit Sub (or Exit Function etc as apt) so that you don't accidentally re-load it.

I figure you would just say Form1.Close() or Me.Close() but this closes all the forms.. how can i change that

There is no pre-made .Close method, so that is something you have written yourself.

Why not stay with just one form and switch between frames on that form (like a wizard does)?
