problems using close [x] button when closing forms.

Neil Telfo #1 / 3	problems using close [x] button when closing forms. Hi, I've come up against a problem closing forms which I just can't seem to work around. I have an application using 12 forms. Instead of loading them all at run time, I load one form at a time, then unload it when I need to load the next form: i.e. Unloaad FormX Set FormX = nothing Load FormY FormY.Show vbModal Now, I can load and unload forms using code similar to that above when attached to command buttons or menu entries. However, I want to use the close [x] button to unload the current form and load the start-up form, instead of terminating the entire application. Is this possible (it must be) ? I have been using various permutations of Query_Unload, but I usually end up with either two forms showing, or the application terminating. Can anyone help with this ? Thanks Neil

Howard Henry Schlunde #2 / 3	problems using close [x] button when closing forms. I seem to have no problems using: Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, _ UnloadMode As Integer) Me.Hide frmMain.Show End Sub A few question, though. Do you want every displayed form to be modal? Is your last form modal and not your first, or vise versa?

J Fren #3 / 3	problems using close [x] button when closing forms. Basically you have to keep a 'strand of execution' alive. Each form has its own 'strand' - so does starting up the App from Sub Main. You could (as HHS pointed out) just load up another form, or you could have a control loop in the Sub Main() - making copious use of Sleep.
