Multiple Forms in VisualBasic.net

 Hi, I'm trying to create multiple forms the same project in visual basic.net and having a ton of trouble!

I created another form by going to File, Add New Item, then clicking on Windows Form and naming it InventoryJournal.vb (my main form is named InventoryForm

I've created a Public Class listing of the forms to be used:
Public Class MyFormClassLibrary
Public Shared frmInventoryForm As Form
Public Shared frmInventoryJournal As Form
End Class

And then, in each form, I created a Form Load Event by typing in the code (changing it for each form, of course):
Private Sub frmInventoryJournal_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
MyFormClassLibrary.frmInventoryJournal = Me
End Sub

I then created command buttons in order to easily toggle between the 2 forms, but it doesn't seem to be working...

On one form, the button's code is:
Private Sub cmdInventoryJournal_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdInventoryJournal.Click
Dim frmInventoryJournal As New frmInventory Journal
frmTranscript.Show()
End Sub

On the other form, the button's code is:
Private Sub cmdInventoryForm_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdInventoryForm.Click
myFormClassLibrary.frmInventoryJournal.Close()
myFormClassLibrary.frmInventoryForm.Show()
End Sub


I don't know what i'm doing wrong, but the main error message I keep getting is,
"Unable to open module file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Tess\MyDocuments\Visual Studio Projects\ProgrammingAssignment\InventoryJournal.vb'"

I manually opened that folder, looking for InventoryJournal.vb to make sure it was in the folder, and it WAS, so i'm not sure what this error means, or whether i'm doing the whole procedure right.

Please help! Any knowledge would be appreciated!
