I think you want to call SecondMainMenu's Click procedure in the RestoreToolStripMenuItem_Click() If you, then Private Sub RestoreToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RestoreToolStripMenuItem.Click SecondMainMenu_Click(sender, e) End Sub

Why do that when you can simply call SecondMainMenu.PerformClick? That way, you get your function parameters filled in automatically
