    How to set default Form?

    Hi, I am just learning to program in VB (so please use simple words), I'm really enjoying it but have come across a problem,

    the first form I mad (Form1) is the form that comes up when I run the program but how do I make a different Form be the one that comes up first (the default)?

    THanks in advance, I'm really looking foreward to spending time on this forum!

    Cheers

    Note also that you can double-click the My Project node in the Solution Explorer to open the project properties. As is always the way in MS software, there's usually at least 37 ways to do everything. I never use the Project menu for anything as I generally find the Solution Explorer faster. There's probably a keyboard shortcut I'm not aware of too.
