I'm not entirely sure that the best solution is to create separate
forms. They seem to be components of the same form.
For this I might suggest the dPageFrameNoTabs container. It's like a
typical paged control, except the only way to change pages is via
programmatic control. The first page would be what you're calling your
main form, and the child forms would simply be additional pages that
you create and add to the pageframe as needed. If they all work
similarly by grabbing captions from the database, you could
conceivably make a page subclass that knows how to do these things,
and then create instances that are customized as necessary.
This would also solve your access problem, as you could easily
maintain a reference to each page and activate it as needed.
