   Ok, well that rules out MDI and Tabs   
      
   Personally I would just design one Form, give it extra properties for   
   setting it up (custom titles) and getting/receiving instructions   
      
   Clone that 10 times (the template form is never loaded)   
      
   It would be very nice to have the Forms raising events (ideally like a   
   Control Array but that would require a 'helper' Class)   
      
   I must confess, having 10 Forms on the Screen at the same times sounds   
   as if you have a very large screen or very small Forms.
