Usually it is not necessary to know that. If you need it: Pass the calling
Form to the called Form.

1. show the new form
2. close the current form

If the closed form is the startup object of the project, you have to add
your own sub new to change the default behavior. The default behavior is
that the application quits as soon as the startup Form has been closed. The
new sub main can be:

sub main 'outside a module it must be Shared Sub Main
dim f as new form1
f.show
application.run()
end sub

When you want the application to quit, call Application.ExitThread in order
to exit application.run.
 
Stan,

1.) Form.ParentForm ' Gets forms parent

2.) Form.ParentForm.Dispose() 'Removes forms Parent Form

** Note **

No disrespect but, It would not do you any harm to look at an objects
properties in the help before you ask these questions, you will learn an
awfull lot by doing this. Use the resources available like MSDN / GOOGLE /
VS HELP to try and assist you.
