The Application object does have a collection of open forms, you could find it there. You could also pass it in, as has been suggested. You could use a delegate to make Form2 tell form1 to wake up. Your best bet IMO is still to create both forms as controls, and embedd them on the one form. red60mans wrote: where do i create those controls?? You create new user controls, and design them the same as you would a form. Then you put both controls on your form, and write some plumbing code to make sure one or the other is always visible. red60mans wrote: So do i need to create these forms as controls in main()?? You'd create them as controls in the designer, and then add them to your form Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

You can see the PublicKeyToken value when your assembly is made strong-named, otherwise it's a null value. red60mans wrote: 2)System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection --- Is this any name or should it be my class name It should be your fully qualified name of your class as you here want to create a custom config entry. red60mans wrote: System.Configuration --- what about this ??? This is the namespace containing your custom config handler class. Basically, when you define a custom configuration section, you'll have to specify the handler for this section and you also need to tell the system about how to locate the type of your class. For more information, see ASP.NET Configuration [^]
