It seems that there are more than one question, but I can not
understand any of them. To open a form from another form, declare the
second unit on the uses clause of the first one.

Many thanks. I did.

Now how can I assign to a button the event of opening the second form?
thanks again

Code: [Select]procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender:TObject);
begin
  Form2.Show;
end;

You can use Delphi documentation, or Pascal documentation. It is easy
to find it on the internet.

Look for pdf versions of Delphi 7 documentation especially the Object
Pascal Language Guide. It should give you a broad overview of the
language & you'll then be able to adapt it to work with Lazarus.
