Unload form, load another, forget about original form

Does anyone have any simple code for having a form, upon executing an
ME.CLOSE statement, open another form and pass control to it, forever
forgetting about the original form? Any help is appreciated.

Thx

Shared Sub Main()
Dim f As New Form1
f.Show()
Application.Run()
End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnClosed(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim f2 As Form2
MyBase.OnClosed(e)
f2 = New Form2
f2.show()
End Sub

Now you must call Application.ExitThread to exit Application.Run when the
application is to be terminated.

Use "Application.ExitThread" to quit the application (unload the forms
first).

Did you try to close the old form just after opening the
new one like that :
Private Sub Commande0_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Menu Gestion des prêts", , , , ,
acWindowNormal
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSavePrompt
End Sub

Hi Armin,

Just curious: Why does this Sub HAVE to be named "Main"? It doesn't work
any other way. I'm assuming Main is some sort of a special class?

Thanks!

Each application must have an entry point. The standard is to call it Sub
Main. One might make it more flexible, but there's no reason.

I had it named LoadMain(), and for an hour I couldn't get it to work on
another project I am working on. I looked back at when I implemented it for
the splash screen, and changed it back to Main(), and it worked. It
definitely looks like something VB.NET requires for what I am trying to
accomplish. How would you add flexibility in the naming process, anyway?
