Hi splitsie

To load a form
MyForm.Show

To Hide a form
MyForm.Hide

To unload a form
Unload MyForm

Remember :
A form can be loaded without it being shown
e.g Load MyForm
or by accessing any of the forms objects
e.g MyForm.Text1.Text = "Hallo World"
This will also load your form, but it will be hidden

-- Startup Form
In your project properties, there is a dropdown with a list of startup objects. Select the form you want your application to start with.

Hope this helps
Cheers

when i try to unload the form i get an error message saying....

invalid property value

the line of code i am using for the unload statement is:

If Form3.Visible = True Then "Unload (Form2)"
with the part in "inverted commas" highlighted when i select debug

could someone please help me with this? thanks = )

If form3.visible = true then
Unload Form2
endif

withouth brackets and inverted comma's should work.
(i am a student not professional and a little rusty)
Pls tell me if i was right.
