App Tab Bar Multiple View Crash

I have a tab bar app with multiple views on each tab. A button is pressed in a tab to take you to a different xib view. A button there is pressed to take you back to the first tab in the tab bar. The problem is when i press the button to go back, I don't want to go to the first view for the FirstViewController, I want to go the the mainwindow where the tab bar controller and stuff is. The button takes you to the firstview without the tab bar. If I change the code to initWithNibName@"MainWindow" it crashes when i press the button. What should I do?

Here is the code in question:

-(IBAction)back{ 
    FirstViewController *back = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MainWindow" bundle:nil]; 
    [self presentModalViewController:back animated:YES]; 
} //this is for going back 

-(IBAction)forward{ 
    test2 *forward = [[test2 alloc] initWithNibName:@"test2" bundle:nil]; 
    [self presentModalViewController:forward animated:NO]; 
} //this is for going to the view. by the way there are no errors or warnings, just "Debugging Terminated" when it crashes.

You can't use presentModalViewController to go back or forward. Modal view controllers should be though of as temporary utility views.

If you are in a navigationController, then you have to use pushViewController:animated: to "drill down" and popViewController:animated: to go back.
