You first need to get your terminology straight. A Frame is a container widget in Tk and as such you normally have many, many frames - even inside a single window! >From looking at your code below you want to close a window then open another one. Without the user doing anything - thats a very unusual GUI! Are you sure you want the second window to open after you close the first? Are you sure you don;t want the second window (a dialog maybe?) to open as the first closes - that would be more common. (In which case look at the TopLevel widget. But GUI programs are event driven, they rely on a single event loop dispatching messages(events) to the application. You need to structure your code around that concept. Which object will receive the messages? Which object creates windows/dialogs etc? Actually from your code it looks like you may be searching for the tk file dialogs that do the usual file open, file saveas fuinctions. If that is the case ask us again in terms of what you are really trying to do. ;-) HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld ===================== # Test using TK from Tkinter import * class Window1(Frame): def __init__(self, master): Frame.__init__(self, master) self.grid() self.create_widgets() def create_widgets(self): # create a quit button Button(self, text = "Quit", command = self.quit ).grid(row = 10, column = 1) # main root = Tk() root.title("Portable Disk Upload") app = Window1(root) root.mainloop() print '\nWanted to stop here and do it again.' root = Tk() root.title("Select Source Directory") app = Window1(root) root.mainloop The information contained in this communication may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
