   It almost sounds like your are describing an MDI type interface (a   
   housing form with menubar that contains the actual forms to be worked   
   on... think Microsoft Word). If so, add an MDI form and make your   
   existing forms children of the MDI form by setting their MDIChild   
   properties to True at design time.   
      
   CAUTION... just in case you find out you don't really want to do it this   
   way, make back up copies of ALL your existing project files so you can   
   easily restore yourself to a known setup.
