if you use VB then use unload function

well if your login form is startup form, and you are using VS2005 then just use closing_button_click() me.close() if using VS2003 then hide the form by me.hide() for closing the complete application , you can use application.exit()

You cannot set the Startup object to be the login form. Closing the startup form will close your entire application because the app's message pump is attached to it. Your startup form should be your applications main form. In that form's code, you check to see if the user is logged in, if not, then you put up the login form to get authenticated. There should be a button in the login form to Cancel the login. Your main form's code should take that to mean it should quit.

But you can set it as the startup form and just tell it to hide (vs2005) without problems.
