Bob,

Are you trying to run two applications? If you are trying to just run two different forms within the same application, the what I have written earlier will work. Also, make sure to see the post from Paul Brown, it is also important to making a clean looking application that will only show the forms on that you have designed and not the main application screen that usually is in the background.

Brad.
