Well, the generic MDI form does not have a forms collection, and I wasn't sure about the forms collection parsing all the forms in my app, not just the ones that are visible. The docs say the forms collection has every loaded form. What I want my app to do is if the user clicks on the toolbar or selects a menu item for a form that's already open but not on top, bring it to the front and make it the active form. I already have the window menu set for the window list also. At this time I think either way will do, but for apps that may have several or all of its forms loaded an array might be more efficient.
