[2008] several questions

ive got some questions..

1) is there any way make a Command button into different shapes? (like circle). if so how do you do it and what do you need?

2) i was wondering how to do a program just click a button and it opens a new window... example you logged in(MSN or yahoo) and it opens a new window that let you see your friends. from the log in part into the chatting part(do you get me?) lol.

thanks in advance

i can answer your 1st question.
have a look at the irregular regions link in my signature.
it shows how to change the shape of a form, but you can apply it to controls as well.

Second question: Make 2 forms. If Form1 is your main form and Form2 is your new form, then put a button on Form1 and when it is clicked:

Dim f as New Form2
