Operation is not allowed when the object is closed...vb6
From Form1, via command1, I am opening Form2 (this works ok). Although it is not necessary to click on command1 again, because Form2 is already open, I get above error message when I do so. And, to get rid of it one has to use Ctrl+Alt+Del keys to exit the vb application.
I tired to put break lines on command1_Click and Form_Active to see what lines causing the error. I haven't been able to determine it. Do you have any idea what this error exactly means and how I can handle it?
Thanks.

How do you open Form2?
What code is in Form_Load ?
What is in Comman_Click?

avi247,
Re:>1. What line throws this error?
"I haven't been able to determine it." see the question for more.
Re:> i.e. whats in your Command1_click method.
Form2.Show '<-- first time works but the second time around gives error
Re:>2. Is there anything you are doing when you open Form2, i.e. on Form2_load are any database or operations being done?
I have some code to put the Form1 on top and move around on got focus (I removed them, the same difference).
Re:>3. Is there any object in scope of Form1\Command1 and you are referencing in Form2
No.

TheClickMaster, I am clicking on a lable, no button to enable it.

abith, I tried it didn't work.

To all:
I am new to VB, I need the proper code to open a form and close to get back to the original form. In my case, the original form stays visible, the second form opens and attaches to the original form.

Erick37,
When I put break point, it doesn't produce error. This becuase when if goes to code window, it also sets focus to the form (or form's code window). This is why I tried to put break in Form_GotFocus and Form_Active events. I have tried everything I know but I wasn't able to find the line which produces error.
I will take a look at your links now.
Thanks,
Mike

I'm sorry, I don't follow you. Were you able to step through the code (F8)?
And just to be clear - you are not connected to or referencing any database?

Erick37,
I have a routine to store some info in the backend.mdb (in Form_Deactivate). rs.Colse is the line the error occurs. I have to make sure rs (public variable) is not set to Nothing, I guess. brb

I guess we have nailed it. By mistake, I was setting my variables to nothing in Form_Deactivate. I moved them to Query_Unload. I will do some more tests with it and let you know about it.

The problem was a connection to the backend database prematurally was being set to noting.
2. Is there anything you are doing when you open Form2, i.e. on Form2_load are any database or operations being done?
3. Is there any object in scope of Form1\Command1 and you are referencing in Form2
