hi i found this on the internet. you put the unit name of the sencond
form at the uses word.. and on the button you put this
Application.CreateForm(Tform,form);
   form.Showmodal;
I really need to put Application.Crea.....???

You can just use
... 
  with TForm2.Create(Self) do 
  begin
     ...
     Name := 'SomeName';
     Show;
  end;
...

Hope this helps !

Hi , (Me again)

The previous Sample will still enable you to switch between the forms.
If you want to wait for the second form then you can use something
like this

...
with TForm2.Create(Self) do
try
  ...
  Name := 'SomeName';
  ShowModal;
  if ModalResult = mrOk then
  begin
    ...
  end;
finally
  Free;
end;
...

Hope this also helps !
