    Owner form closes unexpectedly

    I have several forms who have their ownership set to another form. They can be launched through buttons on the owner form. However, if I have more than one open, when I close the first one created, the owner form closes to. This does not happen if only one form is open, but once I open up multiple, and close the original, the owner form also closes. What is causing this? Can this be fixed?

    A form that is owned by another will close when its owner is closed. You probably confused who owns who somewhere.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter
