Hi Jill.

My framework calls sets up a menu that allows the user to get to any of the main forms, and if relevant starts a default form.

To allow any of your forms to be called any number of times, you need to use private datasessions in your applications. This allows each form to handle its own record pointer, and set up and clean up after itself.
