Normally you will open a window(form) like
Dim frm as new Frm
frm.show()

What do you need to check is that
1.Check the form is Active or not
2.If Active show the form else instance a new form

as


Private frm as new Frm 'Move this to a module
If not frm is nothing Then
  frm.show()
Else
  frm= new Frm
  frm.show()
End if

Thanks and Regards,

Hopes you are doing it with MDI, try enumerating child windows, check for a this specific one, if exits, call the Activate or Set the ActiveChild property of MDI.
