Hi Chris,

I believe that if you include the _mwindow pad from generating a quick menu (and removing the options that won't be availabe such as the Command Window). VFP will take care of listing the open windows for you.

As far as the Cascade feature, you'll have to code that yourself. You can use SYSMETRIC() to get the height of the title bar, and the properties of each form to adjust the top and left positions. If I recall correctly, there was a tip in a recent issue of FoxPro Advisor that showed a quick way to do this.

hth,
