Solution 3

check your form name first, if it is alright then try the following. I may be wrong but i guess it might work.

if mainform.show()then
loginform1.close()
else
...
end if

Solution 5

Simple really. You main from should NOT be your login form.

Your main form should be, well, the main form of your application. It should determine that a login is required, then create and show the login form.

Did you read the 'last answer'? I asked you to look at the last answer: It says "Try setting the Application Properties to fix this. Try changing Shutdown Mode to 'When last form closes'. This will keep the program open until all forms are closed."

I did not want to copy it here and make it look like my own answer. That's why I sent you the link and told you to look at the last answer.

        If txtPass.Text = "admin" Then
            Form2.Show()
        Else
            MsgBox("password is incorrect")
            Exit Sub
            MsgBox("You have now gained access")
