Showing one form from another

I have a problem with forms getting hidden and the zorder getting screwed up
when going from one form to another and also if you bring up a program on
top of mine. When the other program is closed my showing form is hidden.

What is the preferred method of showing forms? I can't be the only one
having this problem. My project has over 40 forms and since the framework
sp2+ has come out I have begun having this problem.

Dim oFrm as New frmMain
oFrm.Show()

In the form I do me.Close() then me.Dispose() to get rid of the form.

I realize this is a rather odd question but maybe i'm missing something
plainly obvious. All vb.net smartclient app's cannot be this unstable in
regard to showing forms.

Thanks for any helpful comments.
 
PPC or Windows CE?

By hidden, do you mean minimized?

I had a similar problem with CE forms being minimized on the task bar
when they should have been maximized after upgrading to SP2. Is this
what you are experiencing?
