Rookie question on hiding and showing forms

[sbrusco]

Hi All,

I know this must be a rookie question but here goes.

I have two forms, form "Main" calls form "Setter" with
frmSetter.Show
but i don't want to hide form "Main", i want it to remain showing. Then when i'm done with form "Setter" i want to close it and return control to form "Main" but if i just use
Unload frmSetter
the Setter form is unloaded and disappears, the Main form is still visible but the vba environment reopens.

How do i close the Setter form and return control to the Main form?

Thanks in advance,
Sal

where do you start execution of your app? sounds like you are running from
the VBA environment.

Main.Show?

Hi Steve,

You are correct that i'm starting from the vba environment.

I actually had frmMain.Show but it errored on me i guess since i was trying to Show a form that was already shown.

As Steve eluded to it shouldn't do that if you start it from a custom command or toolbar.

As i often say to my wife, i'm not that bright of a person that i can pick up on things you "elude" to, you need to spell it out for me.

Thanks for the clarification.
