let main program wait for input 2

[FatEric]

Hi guys,

I recently started programming in vb.net and I need a solution for this matter. In my program I get some info from a sql-server database. The user has to give in a name, and then I read the server and get all records containing that name (via "LIKE"). But when I get two or more records, I want to show a new form with these records so the user can select one. With the selected info I want to look up some other info. I can show the new form with the data, I can get the data from it to get the extra info, but I want the main prog to wait for an answer from the new form. Is this possible on a very simple manner?

Thanks in advance
For further info, let me know.

Thanks Chrissie1!

Another question for this one. Now I want to give back the selected values from the second form to the first one. I made a public function in the first form, but I can't seem to call it from the second form. Do I have to give the first form as a parameter (me) to the second form?

Thanks, FatEric
