Copy Form as template?

[sullyman]

What is the best way to copy a form? I have one form which has a lot of work and would now like to use this as a template for another form

From reading it looks like i need to inherit from a base form.

Can you anyone explain this to me please in simple terms.

Are you using VS or VB Express?

Hi J, i am using VS2008

In that case you simply select Inherited Windows Form from the Add New Item dialogue instead of the usual Windows Form.
