I understand most of the basic concepts but in a prog say with three forms, does VB execute these in order or do you have to place code in each form ,so that one form calls another or what?
set one form as your startup form, the one you start your project with is default startup form, and them from within that form you can call other forms
Dan is right, but you also can open them in the way you described, wherein each form that gets opened opens the next one. VB is flexibleâhowever you want to do this is fine with VB.
Thank you gentleman ..that makes sense to me ,it was just that when following some progs (code ?) it did not seem obvious to me how it was done, form.show did not appear to be used...am I wrong here ?
Good point Brian however problem is resolved , an error was in a published program (from a book) and was that form.load was used instead of form.show , hence my confusion.
