    You can set the First Form that Loads by specifying it as the Startup Object in the Project Properties.

    The Order in which other Forms are loaded is determined by you when you load them, i.e.
    Code:
    Form2.Show

or

Load Form2

    Thumbs up

    Oh thanks.
    How about if i've got several forms opened and I want to close all of them in one click? i.e. quit the programme?
    coz I have to close each form before I can quit my programme. I've tried to use unload form2 and form2.hide but it doesn't seem to solve the problem.
    Thanks!

    For each item in forms
    unload item
    next item
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    If you have many forms in your program you should consider using a MDI (multiple document interface) form to hold it all together - like when Word has many documents open at once. That way you make each other form a MDI CHILD and when you close the MDI form all the child forms close as well.
