For some reason that doesn't work for me.<br />

Yep – that should be ok. There is an example at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/odc_oladdinvbnet.asp" rel="ugc">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/odc_oladdinvbnet.asp</a>&nbsp;about 3/4 of the way down the page – the relevant lines are<br />
Dim fWait As New frmWait()<br />
fWait.show()<br />
fWait.close()<br />

I developing an add-in using VB.NET for Outlook.<br />
<br />
What is the difference between Outlook Forms (which you can create in outlook) and forms created in VB.NET?<br />
<br />
I'm trying to create a form that pops up when a user selects a custom menu option. The form will be for them to configure the settings for the add-in I'm creating.<br />
<br />
How can I make the form display??<br />
<br />
Can I just create a form in VB.NET and use FormName.Show() to make it display? Or, do I need to call it a different way?
