I have a multi-form (non-MDI) app that I'm developing. When the user activates one of the forms in the app by clicking on it, all of the other forms in my app come to the top of the z-order. Is there any way to change this behavior? I would like to make it so that only the form that has been clicked comes to the foreground. I have tried to make an ActiveX .EXE with the thread per instance option out of the form that I'm creating multiple instances of, and this does create the effect that I'm looking for, but after creating 10 or 15 instances of the form, VB issues an "Out of memory" error.

Any ideas?
