How can I reuse an existing form to make a new one, didn't find any reference to this in my VB6 books.

It depends up what you mean by reuse a form. If you have a new project and want to use a form from another project: Copy the form (.frm) file from the old project's folder into the new project's folder From the menu: Select Project Select Add Form Select Existing Select the form from the new project's folder =============================================================== If you an existing form in the project and want to reuse parts of it you can copy the objects from the old form to the new one: Create new form from the menu: select Project select Add select Open Copy objects from old form: Select old form Select all the components by using Ctrl-A from the keyboard Select new form Paste all the components by using Ctrl-V from the keyboard This only copies the objects not the code. You must copy the code from the old form manually to the new form.

if u want to make a new instance of the form during run time: dim frmNew as frmOriginal set frmNew = new frmOriginal frmNew.show this code creates a form (frmNew) exactly like the original form (frmOriginal), controls and code.
