Need to correct the above problem.

When a new form is selected from the solution explorer it closes the form that is opened.

I just noticed this.

Are you sure? If you open (double-click on form name) it should open in a new tab above the code/designer area in VS (Visual Studio). If you preview (single click) on an item in Solution explorer, it will override what is already open in the "Preview" tab.
