Logically form1 would be the first form to appear once the program is launched. However, if I needed another newer form to appear first, how would I go about displaying that new form first and any other form I may have to make later on using VS 2012? Hope this makes sense.
Project-->Properties-->Application-->StartUp Form
You can select the application's startup form in the project properties. I suggest that you have a thorough look through those properties now to see what else is there that may be of use to you now or in the future.
