Yes, you can create a wizard for your program. A wizard is nothing more than a procedure (or series of procedures) that walks the user through accomplishing a task....think of a wizard as a mini application

So i should start by? because i was thinking i can create a 'fake' wizard by opening forms then when it finished its use then close it but i thought that wasn't professional. But you were saying procedures, what do you mean any examples? do you mean calling a function to open forms? or...?

Edit: is there such thing as a Wizard control? i am using VB 2005 Express Edition

Yes calling one procedure after the next (a procedure is a method - function or sub)

No ...sorry no wizard control for winforms

i will try it out quite confident i can do it. but a question, then

won't my program have alot of forms? u said no wizard control for

winforms does it mean if i use something else there is? Also i will have alot of controls doing the same functions. is it ok, done professionally? anyway of reusing them? say i lay them out in a panel control. can i 'copy' it?

No built in controls, but this is a nice one: http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/GNWizard.asp

With that control you won't have to make multiple forms.
