    <p>When I open a new form from my login screen, it logs the user in, shows the form then instantly disappears???</p> <p>Here is my code for the relevant parts:</p> <pre><code>string checkAdmin = "select * from Logins where Name = @userName and UserType ='Admin'"; string checkUser = "select * from Logins where Name = @userName and UserType ='User'"; using (var connection = new SqlConnection(@"server=.\SQLEXPRESS; database=loginsTest;Trusted_Connection=yes")) { using (var checkAdminCommand = new SqlCommand(checkAdmin, connection)) { //guessing at the column length here. Use actual column size instead of 20 checkAdminCommand.Parameters.Add("@username", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50).Value = userNameBox.Text; connection.Open(); if (checkAdminCommand.ExecuteScalar() != null) { adminScreen admnscrn = new adminScreen(); admnscrn.Show(); this.Close(); return; } else { } } using (var connection = new SqlConnection(@"server=.\SQLEXPRESS; database=loginsTest;Trusted_Connection=yes")) { using (var checkUserCommand = new SqlCommand(checkUser, connection)) { //guessing at the column length here. Use actual column size instead of 20 checkUserCommand.Parameters.Add("@username", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50).Value = userNameBox.Text; connection.Open(); if (checkUserCommand.ExecuteScalar() != null) { userScreen usrscrn = new userScreen(); usrscrn.Show(); this.Close(); } else { MessageBox.Show("Invalid details, try again"); passwordBox.Text = ""; } } } </code></pre> <p>So when I open usrscrn or admnscrn, it flicks up and goes straight back off again? I've tried researching, I've used Application.Run(userScreen()); etc, it just throws an exception saying something about a second message loop?</p> <p>I have created a new screen, set it as MDI, and entered this code:</p> <pre><code> private void MDI_Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form1 loginscrn = new Form1(); loginscrn.Show(); } </code></pre> <p>my program.cs file contains this code:</p> <pre><code> static void Main() { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new MDI_Form()); } </code></pre> <p>will this work??</p>
