Experiment with these:

Dim asm As [Assembly] = [Assembly].LoadFrom("the assembly you want")

Dim frm As Form = Activator.CreateInstance(asm.GetType("the fully
qualified namespace and name of the form))

'now do whatever with the instance of the form
frm.Show()

By the way, those nifty methods can be found in System.Reflection

Also, BTW, obviously, if Option Strict is on you'll need to cast the return
value of CreateInstance() to a Form.
