I have confirmed the string. And, I have used several variations. No dice. I started working on this yesterday afternoon. I am stumped. I had hoped a good night's sleep would provide a better perspective, but, alas!, it has not. Bill

I used the forum entry to guide me but I have run into a problem with the following code: ((Form)Activator.CreateInstance(mFormName, "Form")).Show(); The error that I get when I build the project is: Cannot convert type 'System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjectHandle' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' I have tried simply passing the string of the form ("MyNamespace.MyForm") to CreateInstance, but that does not work, either. Any direction that you can provide would be helpful. Bill
