Thank you for your reply. I didn't even know there was a Form_Show() event. When I right click on a form in the NS Basic IDE the Go To Event is grayed out. If I right click on a button I can then get the events for the button. I tried creating the Event in form 2 and placing the code in it as you suggested, but that didn't work either. I'm wondering if I should uninstall NS Basic and download the software again. If there are Form Events shouldn't they show up when I right click on the form? Is Form2_show() supposed to execute everytime I do ChangeForm(Form2)? thanks, Pat

If not, it is only being executed when the code is first loaded, not each time you show Form2.
