Thanks for the help. There is not much code, I can not seem to get past
square one. I guess I just want a form to open as the default user
interface when the button is clicked.

Private Sub MyButton_Click(ByVal Ctrl As
Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarButton, ByRef CancelDefault As Boolean)
Handles MyButton.Click
MsgBox("Our CommandBar button was pressed!")
HERE IS WHERE I WANT TO DISPLAY A FORM. I HAVE A FORM IN MY PROJECT (VISUAL
STUDIO .NET), BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET IT TO DISPLAY ON THE BUTTON
CLICK.
I TRIED
frmMain.show vbModal
BUT IT DID NTO WORK.

news:%2****************@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... I created an addin using VB.Net. I added a windows form to the addin,
but I can not figure out how to have the form open up in the addin.
Is this possible. I only see a file frmMain.vb in the dev environmnet.
I was surprised not to see a frmMain.frm?
How can I have a form as part of an Add-In?
Thanks in advance.
