Ok so im making a game in one of my classes at school, i want to make some
sort of "menu screen" that you can use to access the game.

ive made both forms and they both work except i cant find out how to make it
so that when i click a button on the "menu screen" such as "new game" then it
will open up the form that the game is made on.

any help will be muchly appreciated.

If you have the wizard on when you create a button, you can specify to open a
form and the code will be written for you.
Alternatively, you could create a switchboard which will open forms.

Open the form in form design. Click View | Toolbox and you will see a button
with a wizard's wand on it. Click the wizard's wand to put it in "wizard
mode" and the wizard will step you through the process of creating a command
button and setting it to open a form. When you click View | Toolbox, you will
see a floating toolbox or it may be docked on the toolbar beneath the menu
bar in form design.

Right click the toolbox and select customise. Click the command tab on the
customize box that appears. Scroll down the left hand side of the Customize
box and click on toolbox. The right hand side panel will list the icons
available. Look for "Control Wizards" and click and hold the left mouse
button and drag it to the toolbox menu.

Hope this helps you
Regards
Anthony
