Show a closed form brings up old values on form -- dotnet general

It sounds like you are always using the same instance of the form each
time it is displayed. When the menu item is selected, make sure you are
instantiating a new instance of the form.

[C#]
frmYourForm frm = new frmYourForm();
frm.Show();

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the rely. I tried what you said. The problem is that i have four
forms that they input information into and if at anytime they hit cancel i
want to be able to cancel or i support dispose of all the forms, so i had to
put a Public Dim myfrm as new frmshow in a module so that when i disposed the
forms they knew what i was talking about. Is this the best way to do it or
is there any easier way. Want i want to do is have the user to be able to
input information into these forms, if they cancel it unloads the forms and
if they go to add again if comes up with the first form empty instead of the
info they had previously typed in

thanks Darren

Hello,
You can try this if you are maintaining a single instance of the form

//Instance declaration.
YourForm form;

//In the event handler for the menu click
if(form == null || form.IsDisposed)
form = new YourForm
form.Show();

HTH. Cheers.
