you can't close it. because 'frm2players' is one child form of the 'frmMenu'; Give you two : 1) hide the 'frmMenu'; use 'frmMenu.visible = false;' or 'frmMenu.Hide();' 2) Create one Thread to create 'frm2Players'; /********************/ 'Thread td = new thread(method);' // method is 'create frm2player' td.start(); /********************/ note: thread is 'light', so can't have Resources as 'Main thread'.

thanks it worked well that way.

Thanks

You're welcome :-D Dave BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn) Expect everything to be hard and then enjoy the things that come easy. (code-frog)

Thanks. I have read the description of the remove method from the intellisense and it explains alot.

keep the code above, just add a timer object!!! edit event tick, and interval propriety. This will trigger your above code all the time!!! The timer will be refreshed. :-D

Thanks alot! I experimented with the AutoScaleMode property and have a better understanding of the reason.
