Inability to trap form.show eventI have a rather simple form that takes a user name and password,
validates it, and loads another form. All this is done in the click event for the one and only button on the form. Everything works fine except that after the event is finished the form breaks because of an unhandled system.argument exception, and highlights the form class declaration. This only happens when I do the form.show command in the click event. When I comment it out I do not get the exception. The strange thing is that I get the exception even when I use a try - catch block. I know it is the form.show() that is the problem as commenting that out, regardless of the try-catch block, prevents the exception. If I can figure out what exactly is causing the exception I could probably figure this out on my own. I know that the try-catch system is working as it has caught other problems.

However, I still get the exception if and only if the show() command is used. Marc Create two separate new forms, and call one from the other. Then compare why
this one works, and yours doesn't Jeff Show quoteHide quote "Marc the Demi-Programmer" <no@address> wrote in message news:uc84gIMXGHA.2376@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I have a rather simple form that takes a user name and password, > validates it, and loads another form.

I do appreciate all of your help, not just the person on whose post I am replying. Marc
