I'm not sure what you mean - do you want to be able to switch between forms
within a project?  Or do you want to exchange data between forms?

If it's the former (no pun intended), then you can use something like
Form1.SetFocus to go to Form1.

If you want to exchange data, there are two ways:
1. Use Global (or Public) variables to store data from controls.
2. Just refer to controls by their form.  I haven't had much luck getting
this to work (but I haven't tried it that much), but try referring to, say,
Form1.Text1.Text and see how you go
