vb6 cloning a component on another form

Hi all,

I'm running out of controls on my main form (form1). So I've devised a plan
to store the controls in another form(form2), and have it's contents loaded
on the main form when required, then release it from memory afterwards.

The main form has frame1, which I plan to copy the contents of form2 onto
it.
Form2, has a frame which has several other components on top of it.

This is my code

----------------------------------------------------------------
Dim f As Form2.Frame1
Set f = New Form2.Frame1
f.Parent = Form1.Frame1
----------------------------------------------------------------

How can I get it to work they way I want it to, without building an ocx?


thanks

Astro
