Problem with opening and closing forms

[snow1]

What does this error mean? [Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference]. It keeps popping out when i try to open a form named "frmLogIn". And this is the syntax i used: frmLogIn.Show()

Another error is this:
['Open' is not a member of 'WindowsApplication1.frmLogIn']. this shows up whennever i type: frmLogIn.Open().

What should i do? i cannot understand these errors. all im trying to do is open another form upon clicking a certain command button.

dim nfrmLogIn as form = new frmLogIn
nfrmLogIn.show
