How to add a form that is existing to a vb6 project?

Question

I have a form "Search.frm" in my vb6 project. I want to add the same form with a different name "SearchNew.frm". I copied the form "Search.frm" and renamed to "SearchNew.frm" and tried to add to the project. But it is giving me an error "Search.frm will not be loaded. Name is already in use". Can anybody please help? Thank you.

To summarize the excellent answers and comments above:

• Renaming the file is not enough, VB6 keeps the forms apart by their Name property.
• Temporarily change the Name property of the existing Search.frm
• Add the SearchNew.frm
• Change the Name property of this form
• Change the Name property of the original Search.frm back to what it was.
