>Is there a direct function I can call to see if a form is open inside of an MDI form without going through the forms collection? TIA
You have to go through the forms collection!
If you absolutly don't want to, you have to maintain yourself a structure (collection, dictionnary, array, ...) that maybe asked for a particular form.
