Hi,

Are you opening the display form in modal dialog window ?

(i.e. are you using Show() or ShowDialog() method to open the displayform?)

When you use "Show()" or "ShowDialog()" to display the form, you just do "this.Close()" to close the form!
Maybe I dont understand the question... but I have try to answer it...
