Hi!

The shortest/fastest way that I know is as follows:

lcCalledBy = Program(Program(-1)-1)

If it's called from the menu, I need to open a bunch of files and close them on exit. If called from the other program, one of the files is already open and shouldn't be closed but the other should. I know I can do something kludgy with USED() and setting a form property (which is what I've done and it works fine) but I would have thought there was a more elegant method like a CALLEDFROM() function or something...
