Bob,

In the Main program,

*!* Create Form handler to keep oForms in scope
*!* No need to make this Public if it's in Main.
DIMENSION gaForms(1)
gaForms = []

When you need to run a form:

= libRunFrm([frmMyForm])

And this goes in your code library:

FUNCTION libRunFrm
    LPARAMETERS pcClassName
    LOCAL lnNewFormPosition, loNewForm, lnOldSelect
	
    lnOldSelect = SELECT()
			
    *!* Get the array position where we will add an object
    lnNewFormPosition = ALEN(gaForms, 1) + 1

    *!* Add another form object to the array
    DIMENSION gaForms(lnNewFormPosition)
    gaForms(lnNewFormPosition) = CREATEOBJECT(pcClassName)
		
    SELECT (lnOldSelect)

    *!* Show the form 	
    gaForms(lnNewFormPosition).SHOW()	

ENDFUNC
