assing same form with new name each time loaded...

[clonE]

What I am doing here, is for this irc chat program, I wanted to have a thing for private messages like an instant message on aol, i know how to bring up a bunch of forms that is from the original, but I dont know how to seperate them, because when data is recieved, im going to have to tell it which form to goto. So is there some way I can give the form a number like newform1, newform2, etc.

this is what im using to create the form, i use vb5 by the way

MyCount = frmNew.Count
frmNew = New frmPrivate
frmNew.Show

yes, and it's called an array. For example, you have something called Form1(0) and you want to make a new form of the same thing, then you create Form1(1). The number inside is called the index. That should be enough to get you started on some searches around this forum.
