yup. thanks. I knew there was an easy way to do it.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim blah As New Form1
blah.Show
End Sub

:)

bah! you beat me too it :P

I am actually suprised forms dont have an index property like everything else in vb... That was my first quess on how you would do it but obviously not :D

no, no index property as forms are not controls themselves, but a container for controls... and since their not controls it eradicates the idea of a control array.

If you really want the forms in an array, you can make an array of forms:
Dim MyForms() As Form1

..and then just use it like any other array:

VB Code:

'Note: this particular bit of code will not work unless
'the array already has at least one element in it
i = UBound(MyForms) + 1
ReDim Preserve MyForms(i)
Set MyForms(i) = New Form1
