My first commissioned app worked like that - you could open any number 
of reports which used the same forms and could be accessed by a 
dynamically created menu on the main form. If I remember correctly I had 
a TList to which each form was added as it was created and when the 
report forms closed they called a procedure of the main form which 
removed them from the TList.
