VB? What's the difference, in this respect? The libraries are the same. What do you mean by "switch" exactly? Hope I answered. If this is something else, please clarify.

Solution 1

Probably, by "switch" you mean activation, which happens when you click on the form. Programmatically, you can call:

Solution 3

I suspect your issue isnt so much as 'switching between forms' as it is 'how do I have an instance of a database so that I can access the data from 2 forms' - - so its an architectural issue

... and for that, you really need to look at 'MVC' or such, so your database isnt strongly 'tied to' one/any form but accessable from anywhere in your code

Solution 4

Create a Data-Abstraction-Layer - DAL (google it) - either pass an instance of this between forms or use a static/global instance
