Basically you would create your form in the way you wanted it, (call it BaseForm) and then when you add a new form, navigate to Inherited form, and select baseform.

Base form...
C#
public partial class BaseForm : Form
{
      protected BaseForm()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
      }
}



And now the Single Entry From that inherits it.
C#
public partial class SingleEntry : BaseForm
{
      protected SingleEntry()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
      }
}

Thanks Rob! But I would like to inherit the background only! not the controls.

On my base forms I have 3 buttons on mine, but I guess you dont have to have any controls there, just the Background image.
