pertaining to my current problem that I'm having with getting my first form to open my second form...
When I put the instruction that I was told to do ..
I get an OBJECT REQUIRED error
I named my first form Math2 and the second form Menu1
I was told to load anyone of these instructions
frm1created.show
form2.show vbModel
Load form2
form2.show
I subsituded the word form with math2 and menu1
named my first form Math2 and the second form Menu1
Put a button on your first form(Math2)
In the button put:::
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu1.show
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It WILL work
error you are talking about occurs when u try to refer some non existing object.
This means either you have misspelled or you are trying to refer to object which is not accessible because it is declared on some other form.
If your second form is named Menu1 then you say "Menu1.show" in a button or something.
Make sure thatyou have the words "Option Explicit" at the top of the form - this will force VB to check that every variable has been explicitly declared (so it finds the spelling mistakes really quickly)

When I enter menu1 show in the name for the start command for menu1 I get an error Not a leagal object name
change your form named menu1 to something different say frmMenu1
you may be having a problem with the form being called menu
I dont think it shuold becuase i dont recall any reserved words with that name but give it a shot anyway
rudvs2 already said it, but I always name all of my forms with the prefix frm to avoid problems like that. it's a good trend to follow.
