Hi Dilip,
    SAPbouiCOM.Form is an interface that represents any SBO form that exists or live in application. Since its not a class you cannot instantiate it but you can access any existing form opened by SBO or LoadForm() function and assign it to this. Each live form will be having a unique id to manipulate with it and get access of the form.
    For example you can open 2 Item master data forms. Each form will be having a unique id to identify for manipulation but these two forms will have a unique code. Using that unique code you can get that form instance and assign it to SAPbouiCOM.Form variable.
    But both forms are of same type 'Item Master Data'. In SBO it uses an number for each form type. For example 150 is an Item master data form type. This form type will be displayed on bottom left corner if System Information selected. Unique id is different and it will be unique across SBO application.
LoadForm() will return Form object
Try something like
Dim objForm as SAPbouiCOM.Form
objForm = ….LoadFromXML(xmlstring)
//I think you used File Name. You should try with xmlstring
