I take it you got a managed c++ winforms project. To show a form under .net managed code, there is a .Show() or .ShowModal() method that will present the form. Modal meaning it''s above all other froms, Show just meaning the other windows can come into focus as well.. You may have to create an instance of form2..
hmmm possibal i can get a sample code, im having trouble implementing it into my own project 
I start to suspect that it''s a homework a question...
deepdene has provided enough information for you to start with.
So let me rephrase it:
1. Create an instance of form 2.
2. .Show()

yeah but i may sound like a complete moron what exactly is an instance?
A manifestation of a class. Once you have defined a class prototype, you can (usually) create some instances of that class.
A form is a type of class; the main form that gets shown is an instance of a main form prototype... get the drift?

lol not really no? can i get a sample of an instance? not the form in particualr but just a sample
In the default application, an instance of the form1 is created:
new Form1()
On the same line, it is used as a parameter to the Application.Run function, but you could call it's methods by storing the Form1 instance as it's own variable.
For example:
Now, nothing stops you from creating an instance of a Form2 class?
This is very basic OOP, i suggest you read about basic programming some more. No offense, we've all been newbies
