Multiple forms

My Pocket PC 2003 application will have at least 4 forms and they all need to
go from one to another and back. I created these forms and able to show and
hide. The way I have it now in VB.NET Compact Framework is that I initialize
the form I need to see when a button is clicked and then show it.

The problem is I don't want to create multiple instances of these forms, but
reuse them. For example, Form1 goes to Form2. Form2 goes back to Form1 and
save its data, but not reinitialize it.

Please help.
Thanks.

Here's a good article that describes what you want to do:

Are there any code examples for this? I have read this article but I am not
sure how to implement it. I have a pocket pc app that uses 3 forms and I
have no idea how to call one from the other in VB....thanks.
