Depends on what you are doing.

One way could be to have public properties that can be accessed by other forms if you have instances of those forms available.

Another way could be to have a common controller class that generates all forms - this way this form is aware of all instances of forms created.

Essential correction: in the case you explain, not "public" but "internal". "public" will not hurt, but internal is strict.
Also, I'm not sure the inquirer can understand your answer (not your fault -- I'll vote "5"). If the question was about how to separate UI from logic, it would go in right direction. If someone has not enough fantasy to "connect" the form, the advice will be used for creation of useless mess. Well, I would be happy is someone proves me wrong...

Hi
You can use MDI file. See the web page.

MDI adds nothing the the resolution of the problem. Just a misleading answer. What's the difference from the standpoint of cross-form accessibility? Not at all.

Besides, MDE is very inconvenient, that's why almost no UI uses it, no quality UI anyway.
