I know that we can not unload a form when it's loading on form_load.
We receive an error message.

So, what can we do when we DO wnat to unload a form when it's
loading???

Exemple:
form_load()
    open the database.
    check if the table is empty.
    If table is empty
        send a message
        unload the form
    else
        continue
    end if
end sub

This is an easy one.

#1)  If this is your primary form and you want to exit the application,

form_load()
    open the database.
    check if the table is empty.
    If table is empty
        send a message
        END
    end if
end sub

form_unload()
   UNLOAD MAINFORM
end sub

(Note: MAINFORM in my case is the form DEMO.FRM but the name of the form
is MAINFORM.)

#2) If this isn't your primary form and you are just wanting to return to
the primary form, issue the UNLOAD when you return to the primary form.

Take care.

Thanks for your help.

That's my case. I have already tried what you're suggesting and it
doesn't work.

Try this simple example, please.

Create 2 forms: form1 and form2.

On form1 place:

Sub Form_Load ()
    Form2.Show MODAL
End Sub

On form2:

Sub Form_Load ()
    Unload Me
End Sub

You will receive the error message that I'm meaning.
Solving this puzzle, it will solve the problem with my app.

Nhuch) threw this at us:

     On Error Resume Next

That's what removed my error message

Set some global flag to indicate that an error occurred in the
Form_Load event procedure, then place "Unload Me" onto the
Form_Activate event procedure of Form2.

Puzzle solved? ;)
