Right, changing from one Form to another

say im on main form and want th change to print.frm

i used to to
main.hide
print.show

my mates said Load/Unload everytime is better but how?

Cheers

Depends what you are doing, must admit I haven't seen an application that hides or unloads the main form to show a Print window (especially if it is printing that data that was entered on the main form).

It is possible but unload and hide behave differently:

Unloading a form will loose any data that has been entered by the user and the form is removed from memory.

Hiding the form leaves the information intact and the form remains in memory.

In the main form the code would be:
print.show
unload me

In the print form the code would be:
main.show
unload me

Its just a form called print it could be called abcd! how do you navigate between forms?
