Can forms in different projects reference one another?Me again. Is it possible to have two projects in a solution (ProjA and
ProjB) and have Form1 in ProjA do a .Show() for Form2 in ProjB? I tried the following, but I get a problem with the reference Sub ShowFormB Dim frm as new < ? FormB?? various things I tried here> frm.Show() Me.Close() End Sub Thanks MikeB,
ProjA must have a reference to ProjB. In the Solution Explorer window, right-click ProjA and select Add Reference. From the Add Reference dialog, click the Projects tab and select ProjB. Now your ProjA can show a form in ProjB: Dim frm As New ProjB.SomeForm frm.Show() Kerry Moorman Show quoteHide quote "MikeB" wrote: > Me again.

HTH, Mythran That's all well and good but when you are writing and debugging code, it's a
pain to load the library class and change it's code...also hard to find some errors. That's the beauty of putting all your related projects into one solution at least until you've finished debugging them. -- Show quoteHide quoteDennis in Houston "Mythran" wrote: > > "Kerry Moorman" <KerryMoor***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:33D804A6-5033-4324-AC5E-E25881D0CC2C@microsoft.com... > > MikeB, > > > > ProjA must have a reference to ProjB.

Mythran Kerry, thank you.
Does this mean that the Projects have to have names consisting of one word only? Is there a way to (for instance) use "Host Country" and "Travel Information" as project names?

You can have mutliple word project names, such as "Host Country". But I think that the space gets replaced by an underscore by .Net, like this: Dim frm As New Host_Country.SomeForm Kerry Moorman Show quoteHide quote "MikeB" wrote: > Kerry, thank you. > > Does this mean that the Projects have to have names consisting of one > word only?
