    Do you see that funky shaped icon beside his name? That means he does know - he's just not sure you're capable of this yourself.

    which funky do you mean, AE or BE? if I'm getting insulted, at least let me know and prepare for a fearless riposte. :confused:

      I hate to tell you this, but it's a method on the Form class, and does work in C#. I've used it often enough to recognise it.

        Wrong. I have a C# Windows Forms application that I executed that code in before I posted it to you. I am trying hard not to insult you ( no comments needed from you Pete :-D ), I really mean it sincerely when I suggest you need to use a beginners book. There is nothing wrong with that, I still have shelves of them at home from when I started and I still have to look things up in them almost 20 years later! :laugh: It's a never ending experience learning about development but we really need a foundation to work from.

              Which leads to another question: did/does CP ever explain what MVP stands for? it could be many things, Most Vertical Primate being one of them. :)

                  I'd like to think it's Most Valuable Professional, but in my case it could be Madly Vocal Pessimist.

                    it seems to me we need another editable column in the database, so we can personalize this. And in a couple of weeks the friday quiz question: given 40 MVP names and 40 titles, who is who? :)

                              Since you couldnt help here is how you do it declare a public, static variable of type Form1 just below the Form1 class declaration. I’ve named the variable frm1 public static Form1 frm1 = null; then when you show form2 frm1 = this; this.Visible = false; Form2 frm2 = new Form2(); frm2.Show(); then from form2 you can call Form1.frm1.show(); so thanks for all your help lol

                                        Since you couldnt help here is how you do it declare a public, static variable of type Form1 just below the Form1 class declaration. I’ve named the variable frm1 public static Form1 frm1 = null; then when you show form2 frm1 = this; this.Visible = false; Form2 frm2 = new Form2(); frm2.Show(); then from form2 you can call Form1.frm1.show(); so thanks for all your help lol
