Creating a Master Project

Remember how you made a master project using frames in HTML? We are now going to do that in Visual Basic for all your past and future Visual Basic projects.

  1. Open up the project you just completed (multiple forms).

  2. Design a look to the master form with graphics and labels. Make it look good: you'll be looking at this every day for a while!

  3. After you save it, open up each of your earlier VB projects. You will notice that the name property for each project is probably the same: Form1. When you use multiple forms, you need to give each form a unique name. Do a SAVE AS for each form and give each a unique name.

  4. Link each of the forms to your master project as you did in yesterday's project.
