>My specs for the form manager say that it is responsible for creating and managing independent forms. Dependent forms are created and managed by the object that they are dependent on, in the case of a child form it is created directly by the form that needs it and managed by that form.

This is basically how this problem was handled. The framework already had a DoChildForm to call forms that had a related child BizObj on it, and add the child to the ChildrenForms collection. It was just modified to call a form that wouldn't be a child but we wanted to open in the same data session.

Thanks for the messages guys. I love framework design issues!
