As I already said, look at some basic examples. http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo/designe…-a-ui-file.html

by the way, you dont open any ui files in Qt apps. ui files are used by qt designer. Qt creator does not use them when compiling or running apps.

You should have something like this (following from single inheritance approach from the link above)
form1.ui -> ui_form1.h
form1.h, .cpp

form2.ui -> ui_form2.h
form2.h, .cpp

and then you just open a new form2 from a form1.

If you have a problem, CUT and PASTE your code. Do not retype or simplify it. Give a COMPLETE and COMPILABLE example of your problem. Otherwise we are all guessing the problem from a fabrication where relevant details are often missing.
