Forms question

I have two forms one big, one small.

Small is on top of big. Small is set to "top most" = true.

Problem:
When I combine my app. with another app., say Word,
small remains when I change to Word.

If I set small to "top most" = false, Problem is gone, but
back in big: when I click on big, small disappears.
I don't want that to happen.

What is the solution?

Many thanks,
Patrick

you can set big form as small form's owner
then small one will be on top of big all the time.

smallForm.Owner = bigForm;
smallForm.Show();
It works well
