DOEVENTS had no effect -- all those forms just keep piling on top of each other on the screen, waiting for me to presss Ctrl+W

>>(4) The remaining problem is to assign the unique IDs for all existing forms is quite easy as well. The following, also from Tamar, almost does the trick:

* With the project open
>>FOR EACH oFile IN _VFP.ActiveProject.Files
>>  IF oFile.Type="K" && form
>>     * Open the form either in the Form Designer
>>     MODIFY FORM (oFile) NOWAIT
>>     AssignUniqueControlIDs()
>>     Keyboard '{Ctrl-W}'
>>  ENDIF
>>ENDFOR
>>

Unfortunately, the Ctrl+W doesn't work, so the form does not save.
