Creating The Form
Project > Add New Item > Windows Form. Name it using 'frm' at the start (our convention)
Set the 'Form Border Style'
Set 'MaximiseBox' and 'MinimizeBox' properties
Set StartPostion
Set 'Text'
Set 'icon' (or turn off ShowIcon)

(When looking for help on forms check 'Dialog Boxes', as additional forms are often dealt with in chaptors based on dialog boxes in reference books)
