Confused about showing a second form

Earlier i posted about showing a second form, and was told that using .show was the right way to do it...

But now im trying to make a second form open on a button click and it isnt working. No debug errors, but when i click the button to open second form it gives me an error like "System.NullReferenceException"

anyone know how i can fix this?

codewise i have a public variable...

Dim open as form2

and then under the _click method for my button is just

Open.show()

What am i forgetting?


--Flac

VB Code:

Dim open as New form2

Wow, ya, that was the problem. Thanks a lot.

np , that needs a lot of reading because .NET work that way . ;)
