ok so heres what im trying to do. I have one form with a textbox and a button. im trying to make it so that when you type in the word "internet" a new form will be created and it will have the following components inserted onto it;

one webbrowser
one textbox
eight buttons

im not really having a problem making a new form so much as having a problem putting the tools on it, heres what i have

Dim screensaver As New Form
Dim back As New Button
Dim forward As New Button
Dim internet As New WebBrowser
Dim refresh As New Button
Dim sto As New Button
Dim home As New Button
Dim close As New Button
Dim restart As New Button
Dim addressbar As New TextBox

If TextBox3.Text = "internet" Or TextBox3.Text = "Internet" Then
			screensaver.Show()
			screensaver.Height = 750
			screensaver.Width = 750
			screensaver.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle
			screensaver.MaximizeBox = False
			screensaver.Contains(internet)
			internet.Show()
			internet.Height = 700
			internet.Width = 700
			internet.Navigate("www.google.com")
End If

vb doesnt say i have an error or anything like that, but i cant create "internet". i can create the form but cant put any of the components on it. can anyone possibly give me a hand?

Try this,

screensaver.Controls.Add(internet)

You see, a System.Windows.Form instance has a property called Controls which is a collection of Control objects (a System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection) that are on the Form. You can add controls to the form through the Add method, passing in a reference to the control.
