Hello there,

if you do this then im sure all the information on form 2 will be lost when it closes.
so best use form.hide as advised in the previous post.

unless of course you send the info to form1 on form2.closing method :D

Thanks James

You can use a timer to close form automatically or you can use a button to do this thing also just add this code under any objects event.

Unload Form2

or

Me.Hide

or

Form2.Hide

Don't forget, you can open the form "modally", in which case the original code will pause and wait for it to be hidden or closed before continuing.

Hi gobblegob,
For your need, You add a Module in your Project file, then how many values are Inputted from Form2 are declared in the Module as your require data types in Public mode.
Then you have to store Inputted Values to the variable which are declared in Module. Then you can close the Form2, but no data will be lost.

If you want to get Source Code in VB6 you can contact me.

Use following:
in form1 write following line to load & show form2:

form2.show vbmodal

In form2 use following line to unload it:

Unload Me

It will unload form2 and take you back to form1 from where you opened form2.
