    It is a coding question. You can show any form simply by: FormName.Show
    In your play button's click event, add the code to show the form.

    what about SomeForm.show

    Or goto Project-Properties and set the Startup Object to the form to load
    Hope that helps

    Ah good point. When I saw "press play" I was assuming a button on the form. OP very well may mean VB's Start/Run button instead.
