This happens because of start item setting in visual studio. To change this -

solution explorer > right click your vb (winforms) project > properties

> application side-tab > Startup form: Form2 (ie the form that points to

modified report)

Rebuild the project and you will get the modified form/report instead of the original one. The problem with this approach is that you will have to change this all the time when you add a new form or report to your project.

Can someone help me to fix this issue ?
