>>>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 used type('_screen.forms(n).parent.class') = "C" for _screen.formcount > thisformset.formcount. It works as the type equals "C" only in the case of a formset, since forms have no parent, and type is something, but not "C". The above would also determine the same point, that a parent to the given form exists.
Thanks for the input. Type is a new property to me, but seems pretty useful.
