>>I have a form. From it a user can click a button and a new form appears (I now have 2 forms showing). If the user hits cancel, the 2nd form goes away and they are at the original form. No problem. BUT, if the user selects a particular option, I want the first 2 screens to go away and call a 3rd screen. The part I can't get to work is for the first 2 screens to go away. I have tried every syntax and command I can think of, yet they are still there. These are modal forms. Hope that wasn't too confusing, any help appreciated.
