Closing form - vbModal

[ZOR]

I do not have an MDI form as a mainform. I am calling up forms with the code Form2.Show vbModal,Form1. The problem is trying to hide the form. I am using Form1.Hide and it gives an error "Must close or hide topmost modal form first - runtime error 402. I do not have any other forms showing other than the main form - any ideas how to solve the problem? Thanks

I tried this in a number of ways and was always able to hide Form1 regardless of it being modal or not...anyway try this.

'in the event that opens form2 eg. command1_click on form1

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Form1.Hide ' hide form1 first
Form2.Show vbModal ' then open the modal form

End Sub

Good Luck!!!

Thanks MakeShift, I am an idiot. I just came online to avoid looking daft but was too late. I found I was trying to close a form that wasn't open, I had used the wrong form name on the hide statement, having now corrected that it works. Thanks again for comming back, regards
