I GIVE UP, how do I modify this code to call from one form to the other and back

Oct 17th, 2004

I finally give up. I have here two very simple forms that (for demonstration purposes) consist of a single click button. When you click on the button, the form becomes invisible, and the other becomes visible. you can keep going back and forth till your coffee needs re-heating in the the microwave having developed a really nice thick skin!!

BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!

I obviously wanna do much more than this, but what I'm trying to do is to write successfully from one form to the other and back, then a whole world of possibilities are opened up to me. I have tried many ways (hence the comments) but always get compiler errors such as
error C2512: 'datapassing::Form1' : no appropriate default constructor available
amongst others.

Using Microsoft Visual C++.NET V2003

I could manage forms untill .NET decided to manage them for me!!

Form 1
