A nice simple solution would be...

Private f2 As New Form2
    Private f3 As New Form3

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        f2.Show()
        f3.Show()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        f2.Button1_Click(sender, e)
        f3.Button1_Click(sender, e)
    End Sub

where the Button1_Click method are the handlers for the submit button click.

NOTE: Make sure the Button1_Click methods (or whatever you're calling them) are Public so they are exposed to the calling form.

I'm assuming you're not using inheritance which is another option if you find yourself using similar methods and events on forms.

C:\mission Tracking\MEF\MainForm.vb(220) : error BC30545: Property access must assign to the property or use its value.

that is the error I get

Could you post the code in question, namely the MainForm button click code and the button click for the other forms

I figured it out,
I was setting the definition of the button as publick not the onclick class. Once I switched that it worked like a champ, Thanks for your help!!
