do you mean an existing form You would need to have a reference of it some place in order to access it.
example, setting a property in Form2, to have a reference of the first form, Form1, will allow you to access it:
Form2:
Dim mainForm as Form1
public property TheMainForm As Form1
Get
return Me.mainForm
end get
set(byval value as Form1)
Me.mainForm = value
end set
end property
..
..
'Button click event:
if Me.mainForm is not nothing then
Me.mainForm.Show() 'Or Focus() or BringToFront() or Visible = true
end if
from the first form:
Dim theSecondForm as new Form2()
theSecondForm.TheMainForm = Me
theSecondForm.Show()
you maybe best, depending on your application/situation, to use ShowDialog() to show a form, as it blocks the caller thread until the current form is closed, then it continues on running the previous form.
is this what you are after
