You mean something like:
ObjectHandle oh =
Activator.CreateInstanceFrom(System.IO.Path.Combine(path, "Your.dll"),
"Your.Namespace." + formName,
true,
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public,
null,
new object[] {},
null,
null,
null);
Form form = (Form) oh.Unwrap();
?

Ryan,
Thanks for responding, but I need to soft code the form names because I
do not know what are called at design time.
The code you have would not work becaue you have to hard code the Form1
name in the code. I need this soft coded.

Maybe I did not understand your question but cant you do something like
Dim frm
Select Case clickMenu
Case "form1":
frm = new Form1
Case "form2":
frm = new Form2
Case "form3":
frm = new Form3
Case Else
Throw New NotSupportedException( clickMenu) End Select
frm.Show
