You need to first create an instance of the form and the show it:

'create a new isntance
Dim f2 As New Form2
'use the Show method to show the form
f2.Show()

Hi, that works, but it dims a new form. In the solution explorer, I have another form already created, I want to load that form not create and open a new one. What am I missing here? thanks.

Right-click solutions explorer, and go to Properties|Start-up frm and select a form to load when program executes. I hope that helps.

 

Take care,

Hi, yes that works, thanks very much.

 

It is actually enough to get me going on what I'm doing. But juts out of curiousity, if I do want to load another form in the project from an existing form, how do I do that?

 

thanks.

Shared Sub Main()
System.Windows.Form.Application.Run(New Form1)
End Sub

Type that code at the top of the form. Good luck.
