Try checking out Microsoft's website
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic
They have tips and tricks there. I'm just learning VB myself, so I can't be any more help than that.

Use the Common Dialog control. Then just take the filename from that, and put it into a variable that the skin loading routine can access.

How you load the skin is your business.

try this code

frm(whatever the other form is called).Show
Me.Hide

you don't need the Me.Hide but it helps save memory
