Disappearing form in VB.net

I'm learning to program in VB.Net 2005 Express and have a couple of
test programs that I'm working on. I've saved both of them.

When I re-load one of them, I get the form designer that can have
controls dropped onto it. Yet, when I re-load the other program, it
gives me the form designer as a list of code. There is no Shift-F7
option in the View menu in this case. It still compiles and runs OK.

How do I get the form to re-appear and, just as importantly, how do I
stop it from happening again?

In vb2003, open the solution Explorer and double click on the .vb module and
this will display the form. Not sure in vb2005 but probably is similiar. If
you want only the code, right click on the .vb form module then select view
code.

Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful.
