Hi Michael <br><br>Sorry for the late reply - only got back to my email this morning :-)<br>I tried to close the form - but when doing that - the whole application closed - I think this was mainly due to the fact that that form was seen as the &quot;main form&quot;?? Sorry about this real noob question - but I&#39;m just starting out - and this is very frustrating for me, I know it&#39;s probably something stupid that I&#39;m doing! Let me post my code here - and see what you can see!<br>

  <br>
Just to state - I&#39;m a real newbie to programming &amp; ironpython<br>
I have an application that has 2 forms. The application gets started in
the progam.py module(btw i&#39;m using #develop). This calls another module
- login.py. This is a login form which validates user names/passwords.
Once this is validated I <u>hide</u> the form and call the second
module - MainForm.py. The program runs fine - except that when I close
the MainForm form - the application is still running. I know it&#39;s
because a login.py object is hidden. What I&#39;m asking is how construct
the programming in such a way that this does not happen - that when the
second form is closed - the application closes; or is there a better
way to do this?<br>

How about closing the login form instead of hiding it? Another way is
to handle the Closing event on your main form and close the login form
then. You can also call Application.Exit()  (I believe - this is off
the top of my head so you should check) to exit the GUI event loop.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
