If you exit the first form, the second one will go out of scope and be closed too.
Try re-thinking the structure of your program.
Or consider just hiding (and then later showing if need be) the first form

Try something like this.
private void CloseAndOpen(Form currentForm, Form openForm)

{



openForm.Show();

currentForm.Hide();

}





private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

CloseAndOpen(this, new Form3());

}
