You might try saving the current selected alias in each form's deactivate event; on the activate event reset the selected alias. If these can be fired independent of the selection of forms (like due to a timer event), then I would manage each form's alias at the _screen level via a custom property and then each code would have to get the alias from this custom property and set as current before processing.
