Nick pointed you in the right direction for C# but I want to comment on the VB side of things.

While VB allows you to do that, it isn't a very good idea to do it! The problem becomes evident when you have forms that become intertwined. In one application I made there was a relationship between clients and dealerships.

Using the formName.Show method worked fine until you opened up a client, then opened up the dealership from the client, and finally tried to open another client. You would get an error!

Instead, the proper way to do it is very similar to the C# way of doing it.

(Its been a few years since I've done VB6 so pardon any typos Smile | :) )

Dim myForm As New formName
myForm.Show
