Charles,
I haven't downloaded the sample, so I can't see exactly what you have, but I'd say there's two things that might be missing.
One, in the solution, you might not have a reference to the project that contains CustomerOrdersForm and
Two, in MainAppForm, it's possible that the "using NamespaceContainingTheForm" statement is missing.
I guess maybe I should (might) get around to downloading the sample ....

>Having a problem in CustomerOrdersForm not being recognized when it is called in the MainAppForm. Getting the error Type or Namespace CustomerOrdersForm is not found. I definitely have a CustomerOrdersForm.cs showing in the solutions explorer and I have compared the code in it with Kevin's sample code using CompareIT and can't find a difference.
