>>I would like to find a way to close forms or formsets beyond the one that the user is currently working on. Users often open another menu choice without closing the first. This can then become several forms deep. By using formcount and _screen properties, I can determine that a previous form is still open, but I am having a hard time determing if it is a form or part of a formset, which I think I need to know to release it. Perhaps there is some code to close the last form/formset as the next one is opening.

I agree generally that the user should be able to open as many forms as he wants, however, there is a chance that this would get unwieldy, particularly if several users used the same work station, and many forms were opened, some being copies of the same one. If a user can't see behind the current form, he assumes there is only one form open. I am using formsets mostly, so modal won't really work. Part of what you are saying is that multiple open forms are not a big deal. Thanks for your help.
