   Of course you can rename a Form any time you want. This is only a guess;   
   however, it sounds to me like you removed Form1 from the project   
   somewhere along the line and then added it back in some time later on   
   (renaming it to Adder at that time). If this is correct, then when you   
   removed Form1, VB would have automatically made (an assumed to be   
   defined) Sub Main as the Startup Object (because it needs something to   
   be defined as the Startup Object). When you added Form1 back into the   
   project, VB would **not** have reset the Startup Object. I think this   
   would produce the error you are seeing.   
      
   Whether my guess above is correct or not, you should be able to   
   straighten things out by clicking on Project/Properties in VB's (the   
   IDE's) menu and selecting your current form's name in the ComboBox   
   labeled StartUp Object (which should now read Sub Main) on the General   
   tab.
