Is the custom login form in the same assembly as the Appmain.vb file?  It doesn't have to be, but I am just curious.

I used the login template to create the login form. I deleted and re added the custom form and still recieve the same error.

If you remove the line of code specifying the custom logon form, does the default logon form come up?

Private Shared Sub ShowLoginAndInitMainForm(ByVal e As ShowLoginAndInitFormEventArgs)

'-- Set the login form type to the appropriate form type (optional)

Login.LoginFormType = GetType(frmLogin)

'-- Show the login form and set the return value back to e.ShowMainForm

' The true value passed to the method tells the method to allow the

' end-user to cancel the login form, which will return False from the

' method.

error here-->e.ShowMainForm = Login.ShowLoginAndAuthUser(True)

End Sub
