  Q: How to know whether a form already exist before I dynamically create it ? 

  A: See the Forms and FormCount property of TScreen. You can iterate 
     through the forms, and test to see if your form is there. 
}

 function IsFormOpen(const FormName : string): Boolean;
 var
   i: Integer;
 begin
   Result := False;
   for i := Screen.FormCount - 1 DownTo 0 do
     if (Screen.Forms[i].Name = FormName) then
     begin
       Result := True;
       Break;
     end;
 end;

 // Example: Showing a TForm. 
// First check, if the Form (here Form2) is open. If not, create it. 

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
 begin
   if not IsFormOpen('Form2') then
     Form2 := TForm2.Create(Self);

   Form2.Show
 end;

 { For MDI Children }

 function IsMDIChildOpen(const AFormName: TForm; const AMDIChildName : string): Boolean;
 var
   i: Integer;
 begin
   Result := False;
   for i := Pred(AFormName.MDIChildCount) DownTo 0 do
     if (AFormName.MDIChildren[i].Name = AMDIChildName) then
     begin
       Result := True;
       Break;
     end;
 end;

 // Example: Showing a MDI Child. 
// First check, if the MDI Child is open. If not, create it. 

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
 begin
    if not IsMDIChildOpen(Form1, 'MyMDIChild') then
     MyMDIChild := TMyMDIChild.Create(Self);

   MyMDIChild.Show;
   MyMDIChild.BringToFront;
 end;
