Please use error tags, and show entire error traceback, always as it contains valuable information.
I added error tags above.

Hi jollydragon

from functools import partial
import tkinter

APP_TITLE = "Main Window"
APP_XPOS = 100
APP_YPOS = 100
APP_WIDTH = 350
APP_HEIGHT = 200


def mdfNames(mdf):
    mdf.destroy()
      
def mdfPanel():
    mdf = tkinter.Toplevel()
    mdf.title("Top Level Window")
    mdfSize = 220
    mdf.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (
        mdfSize, mdfSize, (mdf.winfo_screenwidth()-mdfSize)/2,
        (mdf.winfo_screenheight()-mdfSize)/2))                
 
    tkinter.Button(mdf, text="Start", command=partial(mdfNames, mdf)
        ).grid(row=7,column=1, columnspan=2)
           
def main():
    app_win = tkinter.Tk()
    app_win.title(APP_TITLE)
    app_win.geometry("+{}+{}".format(APP_XPOS, APP_YPOS))
    app_win.geometry("{}x{}".format(APP_WIDTH, APP_HEIGHT))
    
    app = mdfPanel()
    
    app_win.mainloop()
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Replace the following:

command=mdfNames(mdf)

By:

command=partial(mdfNames, mdf)

Instead of partial you can of course also use the lambda function.

Thank you very much.
You are right it works well too with Lambda. But how should I understand it? How does Lambda work with it? And it doesn't if without Lambda?
