Solution 1

Use Form.ShowDialog instead of Form.Show.

You should show the form as a Modal dialogue like this:-

VB

Private Sub btn_Search_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_Search.Click
        Dim f As New form2()
        f.ShowDialog()
        ...
        ... Code to process form results
        ...
        f.Dispose()
 End Sub

Then your user must close the form2 before using form1 again.

Hope this helps

[EDIT] Don't forget to Dispose a form shown with ShowDialog. - DSK[/EDIT]
