Hi vinodjnair,

is the login form your startup form?
and how do you close the login form?
you may better make frmMain your startup form and open login form as the first action.

Hai,

   You can try with the hide function and not closing

i.e.,  frmLogin.Hide
and then frmMain.show

Hope this helps

hey vinodjinar -

the best way to go is to have your login form seperate from your main form.

have your main form open your login form - in modal mode is best -

then they do the login, or cancel

then you can continue on with a proper login, or close the program if they cancel the log in.

If the continue with proper login, you then just close the login form, and show your main form, then continue on with your process...

Hope this helps...
