When I call the form 1 , It return to the form 2 and unload the 1

mutley,

Are you asking:
"How can I open a mdiChild form from another mdiChild form so that the first form is unloaded after the second form is loaded?"

If this is your question then in Form1, you probably have:

Form2.Show

and in Form2 you will need to add in the Form_Load event:

Unload Form1

It is OK to do this if you only expect one Form1 and Form2 to exist in your application, but there are better ways to handle forms in an MDI application if you want to learn them.

Just reply back and someone can teach you.

thank you in advance

Not meaning to state the obvious, but if you are saying that the form2 opens, then closes immediately, it is clear to me that you have one of the following in your Form2 or Form1 code:

Unload Form2
Form2.Hide

or one of the following in your Form2 code:
Unload Me
Me.Hide

Look in the Form2_Load event and also in the code for the button on Form1 that the user clicks. If it's small enough, post the code or email me with it.

As VB programmers, we talk a common language of VB so if you post code, we can understand you better. Your English is 1,000,000 times better than my Portuguese!
