    Loading Forms In VB.NET

    I am new to VB.NET. I am trying to load a form (named switchboard)
    from within a form (named login). But its not working. Following is my
    code. What am I missing?

    Dim Frm As New Switchboard
    Frm.Show()

    Thanks in advance.

      That code should work just fine. See if you can reproduce the problem in a
      small sample and then post it here.

          Define "not working"

          /What/ happens?
          What error do you get?
          Following is my code. What am I missing?
          Dim Frm As New Switchboard
          Frm.Show()
          Is your "login" dialog Modal, i.e. did you put it on screen with
          [login].ShowDialog()?

          It certainly /used/ to be the case that you /couldn't/ "Show" a Form
          from within one that you'd "ShowDialog 'd".

          HTH,
          Phill W.

              What are your options set to???

              Set :
              Option Strict On
              Option Explicit On

              Then most likely you will find out your problem.

                  Hey

                  Thank you so much for your replies. I found out the problem.

                  I was using the following code.

                  Me.Dispose()
                  Dim Frm As New Switchboard
                  Frm.Show()

                  When I commented me.dispose, it works fine. But I do want to dispose
                  off the login form after loading switchboard. Where should I put this
                  code. Any ideas?

                  Thanks again.

                      I change the switchboard form to mdiparent form. This is the first
                      time I am using an mdi form.

                      After entering the details in the login form, the mdi parent form is
                      loaded. Then I want to dispose off the login form. Kindly advise.

                      Thanks
