multiple copies of the same form????

i'm making this msn like program but i have a question:

all sessions are in a different form
so every time i want to talk a different person a different form has to open

now my question is:

how do i do this? so a couple of forms that all look accactly the same have to be open at the same time, like the msn chatting windows
maybe i can make a form, and somehow use that as a kind of template so i can open as much copies of this form as i want...

any proposals?

Dim frm As New Form1

frm.Show

excellent idea, thanks
