Establish z-order of forms between applications

[Guest]

I have two separate Forms executables that interact and behave visually to
the user as one application. When my second app starts I set it's form to
TopMost to ensure the user can see it above the first app so it appears like
a child of the first. Of course this is not really what I want because now it
is above all windows.

Is there a way to establish a parent-child Form relationship between Forms
in separate applications?

Thanks.

Why is this 2 seperate applications? It sounds to me like it should be 1.

It's actually a whole series of applications that in general are controlled
from a master application. Some interact with the main app, some interact
and then continue running when the master goes away. Believe me when I say
we've been down the design route several times and everything else is working
fine. I just want to try to clean up the presentation to the user a little
bit.
