        frmSale.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        frmSale.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle
       frmSales.Size = New Size(600, 500)
       frmSale.TopLevel = False
       frmSale.Parent = Me.pnlCon
       frmSale.Show()
       frmSale.BringToFront()

"i could not push the datas", what does that even mean? In the code you show here, you are not doing much of anything with frmSale... just displaying it.

shouldn't it be frmSale.MdiParent (you said all forms are inside your MdiParent)? But anyway like Wes Aday I don't understand what you want, can you try to explain "better", and update your question?

Pass the data to the new form in the form constructor.
