Sounds like you are doing "kind of modal" forms where you can still see the "main" form in the background. FrmSetActiveForm (or at least FrmGetActiveForm) doesn't work as expected with modal (popup) forms, see the docs.
Perhaps you want to make your form look like new forms are opening, when in reality, you are just changing the content of your "main" form.
