In my situation, I was unable to use "My.Application.OpenForms("frmMain")," so I had to use "My.Forms.frmMain" instead. Thank you, this was very helpful.

This is answer I've searched for most of the weekend. I had guessed the problem was another instance being updated but as a VB novice doing the first program had no idea why or what to do about it. Thanks for your clarity. Thanks! This is answer I’ve searched for most of the weekend.

This was exactly what I was looking for... : ) You saved really saved me. I could not figure out what was wrong and, as you mention, all sites focus on a different cross thread problem. Your code is really easy to understand. I was thinking though, perhaps you should make the small change, i.e. instead of writing Dim f As frmMain = My.Application.OpenForms("frmMain") You could write Dim f As frmMain = My.Application.OpenForms(frmMain.Name), then you also get spell check through IntelliSense... : ) Thanks Simon Hi
