Beginner Question

OK, I had a little work with an older VB Version.....but now I'm trying Express

I open a new project and add a form and everything is fine. I save my work but

when i go to reopen the project i can't see the form, but i can view the code fine.

The only way i can visually see the form is to Play/Run the debugger, which is useless if

i can't make changes. With Express is this limited

    Rightclick the code file inthe solution explorer (Ctrl + Atl +L) and select View Designer to bring the form. Please post a message if this does not work.

    You should be able to double click on the class name in the solution view to see the form again.

    Cool - the F7, Shift F7 thing was news to me. That's great, I will use that now.

    As mentioned previously, double-clicking the item in the Solution Explorer will open the form in design view. Once you've selected an item in the Solution Explorer you can also use the buttons at the top to perfrom various actions, including open the form in design or code view. Also, you can use F7 and Shift+F7 to switch from design to code view and code to design view when you have one or both open in the IDE.
