Closing a form from another form

[kronecker]

Sounds simple enough when I do

Form2.Hide() calling this from Form1 it closes fine (or hides)

However, I have a form which is called from another form say Form3
which is called from Form2 and it won't close or hide.

I do

Form3.Close()

and nothing happens - no error message either.

Each form is defined at the top as dim formx as new formx()
where x is the number of the form.

If you create several instances of a Form, they are not the same.

Sorry I am still not clear. So how do I close the form if they are all
not the same?
