I have finally been able to get the the frmlogin to work porperly however when clicking on proceed it opens the second form but for some reason I am not able to get frmlogin to close after frmPbook loads. Please help , Thank you.

the code for frmlogin is listed below.

Public Class FrmLogin

    Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnOK.Click
        ' Make sure the user entered something.
        If TxtUname.Text.Length = 0 Then
            MsgBox("You must enter a user name", _
                MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
            TxtUname.Focus()
        ElseIf TxtPword.Text.Length = 0 Then
            MsgBox("You must enter a password", _
                MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
            TxtPword.Focus()
        End If

        If TxtUname.Text <> "Tom" And TxtPword.Text <> "mash4077" Then
            MsgBox("Your UserName and Password are Incorrct", _
                MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
            TxtUname.Focus()
            TxtPword.Focus()
        End If

        If TxtPword.Text = "mash4077" And TxtUname.Text = "Tom" Then
            Btnfailpass.Text = "Click Here to Proceed" 'Continue
        End If

        If Btnfailpass.Text = "Click Here to Proceed" Then
            Btnfailpass.Visible = True
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub BtnCancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnCancel.Click
        End 'clicked cancel button
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmLogin_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        TxtPword.PasswordChar = "*"

    End Sub

    Private Sub Btnfailpass_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Btnfailpass.Click
        FrmPbook.ShowDialog()

    End Sub
End Class

Have you tried Frmlogin.hide?


also I think showDialog will keep the focus until you close it.
So manualy closing it will not be possible.
try show instead?

Hi,

Try the following :

FrmLogin login=new FrmLogin();
login.close();
FrmPbook.Show();

Thanks
