Hi,

I have got 2 forms... frmHome and frmMain.
to open my frmMain from my frmHome i use the following code

Dim frmMain as new frmMain
frmMain.show

the problem is when i click a button to return me to my
homepage from frmMain a new instance of the homepage is
created rather than just opening the existing one that is
open.

how do i open the one that is currently open?
and how do i close the current form after the new one has
been opened?

You need to pass a reference from frmHome to frmMain, so you can re-use it.
For more info on forms, check out following article:

and using a form as a dialog. (8 printed pages)
