No, you will need to create an object variable for the form you wish to open.

Somthing like this under the button sub should work:

Dim objNewForm as New NewForm()
objNewForm.ShowDialog()

Adding to what cpopham said, make a subroutine for one of your buttons like this:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

objNewForm.ShowDialog()

End Sub

Also make sure you put Dim objNewForm as New Form somewhere near the top. It should be "as New Form" and not "as New NewForm()"

That's in my version at least.
