But the form I want to show is already created in designer. I don't want a
new form.
The question was really how do I refer to some existing object from one
module (form) to another (in C its done by including header file of the
object I want to refer to)?

Thanks

The designer is only a tool to create source code and resources for a Form
*class*. When the application runs, you must first create a Form *object*
and show it. An object is called an "istance of a class", and it is created
by the New keyword.
I don't
want a new form.

As mentioned above, you must have created the Form anywhere. If you want to
access the Form object in a module, you must pass the reference to the Form
object to the module.
