You migh try making the form name public so it can be referenced from anywhere in your project.

Sometimes adding a "hidden", but not disabled, textboxes to forms (you can hide them behind some other control). When the project needs to activate a form that does not have focus, a click event is forwarded to the control - which usually activates it's parent form.

Setting focus to the hidden textbox (or a hidden button) and issuing a KEYBOARD command is anther method to fire the parents activate event.
