Try something like the following and see if it works:

In each form have a set of Public subs to MoveFirst, MoveLast, AddNew, etc. Each sub would be named the same on each form.

Whenever the button is pushed in the mdi parent you could run code like:
ActiveForm.MoveFirstRecord
ActiveForm.AddNewRecord
etc.

In reverse, each time a form was activated, it would be up to the active form to have logic to disable and enable buttons when appropriate.
