Use Activator.CreateInstance():

    Dim formName As String = "WindowsApplication1.FrmMntExtVnd"
    Dim frm As Form = DirectCast(Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(formName)), Form)
    frm.Show()

Somehow I get an error saying a null reference on parameter not allowed. (with in the gettype()) and that I need to specify a New keyword<br />
I tried the Ronald and worked fine. Later I will try to find out why that error when it shouldn't. I just don't have time now.<br />
Thanks, That was great help<br />
