Well I can, but it flashes on the screen then closes in
under a second. If I open one form from another, that
doesn't happen. The form stays there, as it should.

Hope somebody can help.

Hello, dennist:
Just as Herfried said, Windows GUI Application runs in an event-driven
model, so there must be a message pipe to get
these messages from system and then dispatch them to the controls in the
form. It's similiar to
while(GetMessage(msg) )
{
ProcessMessage(msg);
DispatchMessage(msg);
}
The static method Application.Run will run the msg loop for you, You
should call Application.Run as Herfried's example, when you creating a new
form, Thanks.
