1). Maybe I am not completely following you question but Form->Close() or Form->Visiable = false will cause the form to be hidden. Form->Show() or Form->Visible = true will display the form. So hide any of the child forms that you do not need.

Are you using auto created forms?
If not I suggest using Manually created forms in any MDI enviroment.

2). For MS Access use the ODBC driver Via the BDE. This will allow read/write access to the Database while supporting native BDE calls.
