Showing and hiding forms is a very common thing to do in programming.

One catch is that you can't show a form it if isn't already open and
hidden.
So I always include code that tests to see if the form is already loaded
before the line of code that makes that form visible.

i am thinking of changing it because it doesnt feel right (and i use
that term loosly) with the forms in modal and i am leaning towards
show and hiding forms and i am more wondering if that is an ok thing
to do from a programming point of view.
