Roland,

I don't really know what you're trying to do, but if either one of those forms should be modal, you can make it that way by calling it as a Dialog, like this (not sure of the VB syntax, but this should be close):

Dim MyForm As New MyForm()
MyForm.ShowDialog()
MyForm.Hide()

Also, you can test the return results of a Dialog if you have set AcceptButton and/or CancelButton in your form. There's also a property called FormBorderStyle that can be set to FixedDialog, which will automatically hide your form, so you don't need to do it (these all show up in the form's property sheet).

Dim MyForm As New MyForm()
if MyForm.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
  -- do some processing here
