Why does this code close both of my WinForm windows???

[Aaron Ackerman]

I have a code snippet where if a certain condition is met it creates and
loads an instance of a form and closes the active form that called the
smaller one. The problem is when I call me.close it closes BOTH forms?
Dim frmWizard As New DBWizard

frmWizard.Show()

frmWizard.Focus()

Me.Close()

Maybe your application is loosing its message pump.

For a solution, see:

If you specified the first form as the startup object, the application
closes as soon as the form is closed. If you want a different behavior, you
need to write a Sub Main on your own:

shared sub main
dim f as new form1
f.show
application.run
end sub

Now, you have to call application.exitthread when you want the application
to quit.

My apologies but that is a lousy solution.

Hi Aaron,

My apologies but that is a lousy solution.

I don't like it either, but I cannot say it is lousy, can you explain
something more why?

Why? The default sub main nearly looks the same.
