a minor mistake in linking

[skp03]

A bit of confusion

what to do

I have a form1 in that their is a button by name "login"
by clicking on the button "login" the form2 will be shown
in a form2 their is username and password text boxes and two button one is "ok" and another one is "cancel"

by clicking on a button "cancel" it should return to the form1
how to link the button "cancel"

Is form1 still open while Form2 is open? If so then simply do Me.Close in the cancel button.click event.

try this:

In your main form use this to show the login form:

Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
		Me.Hide()
		Dim frm As New Form2()
		frm.ShowDialog(Me)
	End Sub

In your Form2 "cancel" click use this:

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
		If Me.Owner IsNot Nothing Then
			Me.owner.Show()
		End If

		Me.Close()
	End Sub
