A couple of points:

You need to create an instance of Form1 before showing it e.g

Form1 form = new Form1();
form.Show();

You also need to ensure you have referenced the namespace in the unit
where MainForm is declared, if it is declared in a different namespace.
This is done by adding a 'using' statement to the top of the unit e.g.

using MyNamespaceContainingForm1;

Alternatively you can fully qualify the Form1 reference when declaring
it e.g

MyNamespaceContainingForm1.Form1 form = new Form1();

You also need to ensure that you've added a reference to the assembly
containing the Form1 implementation, if it isn't a unit included
directly in your current project. This is done by selecting
'Project|Add Reference' on the IDEs main menu.

HTH.
