>There's even one way to exactly determine what object a method window belongs to. You use MODIFY FORM ... METHOD to open all methods in all possible objects. If VFP opens a new window this was the wrong object. Only for the current object it would activate the existing method window. You should be able to use the handle returned by _WOnTop() to verify this. In order to make this transparent to the user you would have to lock all screen updates.

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions.

One thing though. Using the EDxxxx API calls, wouldn't I have to open it with the _EDOpen to get a window handle prior to getting any information through other _Ed functions? Can you have a method open then Use _EDOpen on it as well without problems. I thought that _EDOpen was expecting a file name not a method window name.
