  My thought would be that the Enabled application Framework is more fully described as a "windows application Framework", as when you enable it the frame Windows Application Framework Properties is enabled.

  Since Sub main can be used for console applications - it would cause more problems with trying to use the framework features for purposes not intented and with legacy code.

  Requiring it to use a windows form to start ensures that the application is a windows application and not a console application - Reducing down potential problems.

  So you need to set some variables and stuff up - simply create a method in the initial form load and call it there.

  The idea of the framework is to enable quick and simple addition of items such as splash screens in a very simply standard and straightforward manner. If you want to do other more complicated stuff your still free to implement your own solutions.

  You can open an application from a form or from a SUB main of a module. I started it from a SUB main. I do that because I have to load some vars at the begining and then I do

  Application.Run(New formlogin)

  To start form a SUB main, you have to unchecked "enabled application framework" and then you can choose "SUB MAIN".

  Thanks...

  sorry you need to explain more than that. What do you mean by starting your application from sub main It does start it using that I believe - what happens

  the application is started from the form you set it as a startup form in the project properties of your solution
