I have an application with 2 vb.net forms and an Excel Spreadsheet. I am struggking to get the navigation betwee
the forms to work properly
On startup frmMain is loaded. This frm has a button to open XL and direct user to correct area of ssheet. It opens a secon
vb.net frm (frmNav) to assist navigation through the spready. On initial loading of the spreadsheet this all works OK

BUT when closing frmNav, I want the user to be taken back to frmMain. At the moment frmNav closes but frmMain remains minised
THEN On reselecting from a datagrid in frmMain, the user needs to be presented with the spreadsheet with frmNav over the top. The spreadsheet is reworking from the datagrid selection fine, but the representation of the spreadsheet at the front for the user is not

Vis Studio help is not helpin since it only seems to discuss navigating forms on initial loading and this is not my problem

Yours frustratedl

Hi Pete,

Did you use showdialog, it seems that that is what you want to do, however I
am not sure.

There are 3 methods of showing a form
Normal
showdialog
as a mdi child

Which are you using?
