>> so i have one main form then all other forms are childforms
That's depending of your application. Mostly we speak of childforms in an MDI-environment

>> how do i preview a a form?
Or you have to set it as startup-form (Right click on the project go to properties. Under "Startup Object" select which form you want to use) or add a button/menu/... where you call the new form

MAIN MENU
Home
Companies
Clients
SUB MENU - COMPANIES
Info
Staff

>> Some c# windows questions --> and now you say: example in a website ... :)
It's all depending of your own design... You can work with mainforms, you can work with other forms. It's all depending of the interaction that you need between your forms ....

well im converting from website to app arent i :P
well for example after a company is loaded, the company ID needs to be available for all sub company forms
if i used main forms for all my pages, when i click a button to go to a different form the screen doesnt flicker or open another form ontop does it, it opens it in place (like a webpage would? lol)

You can do something like that, fe by using an MDI-application (see link earlier).
You than have a mainwindow, in wich you can show the subforms
