Copying a form

[venerable bede]

I know this is a silly question but I just dont understand it.

I have a form called "testing.vb" and I want to copy it so that I have another form in my project called "tyesting1.vb".

If I save as it seems to rename.
I cant find the original "testing.vb" anywhere.

If I copy and paste my original form kind of vanishes. I can see the code but not the form.

Can anyone help?

Hah, I see exactly what you mean - well, another way is to copy the file outside the IDE and then add to project. *tries* Err, no it ain't. Intellisense is a bit too smart for its own good eh.

Okay - copy the file outside the IDE, edit with Notepad, replace all occurrences of "Form1" with "Form2", rename file. That worked.

Someone must know how do do this easily.

CHrist why should you have to recreate a form from scratch when you could just copy and paste and then tweak.
