If you want to show another form, use

vb Code:

Form.Show()

If you want to show an application (MS Word, etc), use

vb Code:

Process.Start("Application path")

or

vb Code:

Process.Start("Application path","File to open")

if you want to open a file with the application

In the button click:
Dim f as New NameOfYourFormHere
f.Show (or f.ShowDialog)

Hey guys!
thx.. your info helped a lot..

HI Guys!
I hav another thing i want to ask since i am not able to figure it out myself...

I have to open a new form when the user selects a particular data from a dropdown box and clicks on a button.

Now i can open the new form using the above method which is :

Dim f as New "myformname"
f.show

But my problem is that i have to use the data that was selected by the user in the dropdown box in the previous form. How do i carry that information into the new form. can i store it in some variable and use it in the new form.

Please advise.

Cheers

A form is an object. How do you normally pass data to an object? The answer is that you either set a property or pass a parameter to a method. If that's how you do it for objects and a form is an object then that's how you do it for forms. Declare a property in your form and assign your data to it, or else declare a method in your form and call it, passing your data as a parameter.

Hey!
I am not sure on how to declare a property and assign the data to it.. cud u please gimme an example or something..

I am not even sure of how to get the data selected by the user in the dropdownbox. Is it something like dropdownbox1.selectedtext or something.

thx
