    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:

    Funky as in classy shaped icon. No insults there - just 3 MVPs chewing the fat.

      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

                                      No, in other words, you plainly have no idea what you're doing and should learn some basics before wasting all our time asking questions you don't understand the answer to.

                                        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

                                        Wow - that's some nasty ass code. Can I make a few suggestions: 1 - buy a beginners book before you become more entrenched in the really bad habits that you're currently forming. Otherwise, your code will always suck as much as this code does. 2 - try to use real variable names. form1 and form2 make sense on your first day of coding, they are not workable in a real project Seriously, you come here, ask for help, complain when you get it, and then you're all proud because you found a way that frankly, belongs in the coding horrors forum.

                                          That's one seriously bad piece of code. Why do you think yours is better than the solution I posted above? Let's see - I've been in this industry over 20 years, and have extensive experience in developing applications including using patterns to develop robust systems - and you? Well you accept default form names. Nuff said.

                                          Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
