Cetin's suggestion to use WEXISTS() almost work. That is, the code detects that the window exists. But when the code calls to release the window (RELEASE WINDOW RepWindow) the window does not go away. That is, if the Window is open and shows a Report Preview, RELEASE it does not affect it.
Therefore, my question is, how do you close the Window programmatically? Or, when a user is previewing a FRX file and the Report Preview toolbar shows the icon to Close the Preview, what command is fired? If I knew this command, I would call it programatically.
