WEnd

So basically i want it to open a window. When you click the button it will close the main one, and open a new one. When you click that windows button, it will go back to the original box. When i click the second boxes button, it opens the same form, and doesnt close :/ Any help?

Don't delete the main GUI with GUIDelete($main), just hide it with GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE, $main).

kk, i changed to this,

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>

$main = GUICreate("Main",150,85,50,50)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Click for another window",5,30,140,30)
$Button2 = 0
$GUI1 = 0
GUISetState()
While 1
    
    While 1 
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $Button1
                GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $main)
                $GUI1 = GUICreate("Button window",400,200,50,50)
                $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open window",50,50,200,20)
                GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI1)
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
        EndSelect
    Wend
            
    While 1 
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $Button2
                GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $GUI1)
                Sleep(100)
                GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $main)
        EndSelect
    Wend        
WEnd

Still doesnt want to change back to the main frame :/

Your code is messy, I recommend you to initialize the GUI's first, and then show/hide them accordingly, instead of creating them when you need them.

$GUI1 = GUICreate("Window #1", 100, 100)
$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Switch windows", 10, 10, 80, 80)

$GUI2 = GUICreate("Window #3", 100, 100)
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Switch windows", 10, 10, 80, 80)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI1)

While 1
  Switch GUIGetMsg()
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    Exit
  Case $btn1
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $GUI1)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI2)
  Case $btn2
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $GUI2)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI1)
  Sleep(10)
WEnd

This does exactly what you want, but (I think) it is cleaner.

Yeah, the logic is still broke because there is no ExitLoop for either of the message loops. Add the ExitLoop to the button cases, and you should delete rather than hide the second GUI because every time you go back to it you are creating a new one:

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>

$main = GUICreate("Main",150,85,50,50)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Click for another window",5,30,140,30)
$Button2 = 0
$GUI1 = 0
GUISetState()
While 1
    
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $Button1
                GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $main)
                $GUI1 = GUICreate("Button window",400,200,50,50)
                $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open window",50,50,200,20)
                GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI1)
                ExitLoop
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
        EndSelect
    Wend
            
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $Button2
                GUIDelete($GUI1)
                Sleep(100)
                GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $main)
                ExitLoop
        EndSelect
    Wend        
WEnd

Haha thanks guys. Seems real difficult until someone shows me how the defining before i need them definitely is a confusion saver, and yea i never thought about the delete, itd keep hiding like 100's of windows muttley
