That didn't work either. The program begins with

Sub Main
Dim frmTest As frmLogin = New frmLogin
frmTest.Show()
End Sub

The program just ends without showing anything. Next I tried

Sub Main
Dim frmTest As frmBegin = New frmBegin
frmTest.Show()
End Sub

And in the Load of the Begin form added
Dim frmTest As frmLogin = New frmLogin
frmTest.Show()

The program still just ended without showing anything.

I believe there needs to be a ShowDialog for the first form to keep the program running, but I agree with you that this is probably causing a problem when trying to load all the forms at the beginning of the program.
