title: Open New Form on button click, Close exisiting Form, VS2010
body: <p>Sorry for asking a really dumb question. I've been a vb6 programmer for years and I am just developing my first application in VS2010.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to open a new form on a button click and close the current form.</p>
  
  <p>In VB6 I would have used.</p>
  
  <p><code>Me.Close
  Form.Show vbmodal</code></p>
  
  <p>I've googled for a solution and it tells me the code is basically the same</p>
  
  <p><code>form.show()
  me.close</code>
  However, when I click the button the program closes. If I take away <code>me.close</code>, the form shows.</p>
  
  <p>I'm really confused.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>John</p>
