>I have a situation where instead of one large form, I'd like to have a bunch of smaller forms on the screen at once. This would allow the user to move them around or minimize them individually. All these forms are related to each other, so when the user does something on one form, it needs to affect the other forms.

Hi Michelle,

I think the approch you have will not give user much flexiblility to work with too many forms on the desktop. Again you will have problems of refreshing controls on form whenever any change is made to any of these forms. This becomes worse when forms have Private DataSession. so i would advise you to use
PageFrames and have as many pages as you want in it(even another pageframes).
