Hi,
As i am a first time user on Visual Basic 2005 Express. I had followed the whole Starter kits for new project - after applying the template, surprisingly, there isn't any form (Form1.vb[Design]) and tree view of such form under "Solution Explorer".
Since creating the project, the form should pop up automatically.
What should i do next
Cheers!
Can't view Form in Designer

Do you have admin permissions on the box -- or is the machine using network drives for any purpose
These 2 things are the only things I can think of at the moment. This should still work as normal user, unless some package is trying to write to a predefined file location.

Being the beginner on VB2005 Expr Ed, the steps taken, were from the Virtual Tour (of 16hrs long), which i was watching the video (run on Media Player) and applying the steps into creating a desired project.
Initially, when Click on "New Project", selecting the template, changed the file name and click OK. Upon saving the template - it pops up an error message "The filename, directory name, or volume lebel syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)".
However, i had overcome it by following the steps,

Use menu Tools | Options
- Select "Project and Solutions" on the tree view.
- Check "Save new project when created" on the panel.
Whilst applied these steps, the error still pop up (every time i created a new project), but now i still can see the file has being created (but i don't think everything was still right).
After opening the file, i can't find "Form Designer" (where it should shown automatically). I had try it few ways in running the name. Don't seem to getting away the error.
So, no form designer, can't apply any Control keys (Is all grey out).
Thanks
