Try using showdialog instead of show.

 

There has been a quite good thread on this topic some days ago. Try searching for it.

thx so much but why the aplication for form 1 is still at the taskbar n how 2 get rid of it? although i clicked at the aplication form 1 at taskbar was nothin to show

Use the Hide() method of the form rather than closing it. If the form you are trying to close is the form on which the application loop depends, the application loop will exit after the form closed and if there is no further code after that, the whole application will exit.
