It does not make any sense to do that.

Solution 1

This is a horrible method because what if the form you're looking for hasn't been created yet? How about a case where you've got multiple copies of the same form?

Seriously, if you think you have to do this at all you REALLY need to rethink your design.

Solution 2

You could iterate through the Application.OpenForms-Collection.
Now you could compare, which one has the desired name and make it Visible.
