form(s) not available for edit

I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition;
is this the right newsgroup?

I just started within the last two weeks, working my way through a book.
Today, I opened the program, and my three recent projects were listed.
However, when I open any one of them,
I can find all sorts of .vb (code) files and resources of various kinds,
but no representation of the form that I can edit!
If I click F5, the applications runs and obligingly *displays* the form,
and I can interact with it at that level.
But I can't find the editable copy.
Ideas?

scenic_man,

Once you've opened your project, select the Solution Explorer, then
highlight the main form and click on View Form.

Out of curiosity, if when the code is displayed, can you 'right' click and
select 'View Designer' from the context menu?

Hey Everyone.. I have a form that has approximately 7 text fields and 1 checkbox. Generally when this form is submitted(to itself BTW) it works fine, however, when the checkbox is only field that has been modified/clicked the form doesn't always submit. When it does work, a Stored procedure is passed form variables and updates to the db are made. When it doesn't, its as if the form wasn't submitted, it reloads and resets the page, but...

A few weeks ago I have the idea of converting XML instance data to a HTML form, using tags as the label and the resulting form can be used to edit the XML data. So I started to play around with it, and have some prelimary proof of concept stuff working. Then I started to search around on the web for similar works. There seem to be quite a few people with the same idea. The following is an example. However as far as I can tell, nobody...

Hello, Please forgive my reposting of this note with hopefully a more relevant subject line.

Hi. I have a form which has as its recordsource an SQL string.

I have a form with about 25 fields. In the BeforeUpdate event of the form, I have code that sets the default value of each field to its current value. For a new record, I can put the focus in any field to start. If I edit that field and then click on the new record button in the navigation buttons, the form goes to a new record and each field has the default value of the previous record. If I put the focus in any field to start, edit that...
