In the button click event handler, add something like CSecondDialog dlg; dlg.DoModal(); Have a read of CDialog::DoModal[^] for further info. Launching a FormView is slightly more complex, especially in an SDI app - have a read of Switching Views in a Single Document Interface Program[^] Michael CP Blog [^]

to start another application, use ShellExecute() Who are all these people and what are they doing in my house?...Me in 30 years, inside a grocery store My articles[^] bdiamond :zzz:

 ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "myapplication.exe", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

that will open an application and start it called "myapplication.exe", of course you'd have to replace that with the real name of your app. However if an application is already open, you would probably have to use something like FindWindow() to get the window's hWnd, then call SetForegroundWindow() or something like that.
