Yzi,

When you delete this part

\\\\

'' Module1.vb
........
Public Sub main()

Dim frm As New Form1
frm.ShowDialog( )
End Sub
........ ///
And set in the solution properties the startup back to form1.

Than they both are active,

And although I find it not the best way to go, you can to learn create in
form2

Public frm1 as form

And in form1 '' Form1.vb private frm2 as Form2 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
frm2 = New Form2
frm2.Frm1 = me frm2.Show()

End Sub
...........

You can than even communicatie between the two

In form1 is form2 than frm2
In form2 is form1 than frm1

I hope this helps?
