If the form you want to load at runtime isn't the first form created

[A Future Computer Scientist]

I've gone through the newsgroups and I don't think I found the answer to my
question.

My question does anyone know the coding to show a form at runtime if it's
not the first form created, since by default VB runs the first form that's
created. I've looked in my VB book from school to see if the coding is in,
but I think my instructor told us the code.

It's been over 2 years since I've done any VB programming and like the dummy
I am, i don't have any of my old programs *laughing*. So any assistance will
be appreciated.

Go to the Project/Properties on VB's menu and change the Startup Object to
the form you want.

Rick is absolutely correct, however, I prefer controlling this
from code which is what you asked for. My programs start from
the "main" subroutine and in that routine, you will find
something like this:

myform.show

I agree with Robert (Almost). if you use a code module then it's good
practise to always set the properties to start in the Main of the module.

However, (this is the 'Almost' bit) if you code is small and only has forms
and no modules then of course Rick is right.
