>I am attempting to run some code that will determine if a form is open and nothing I have tried seems to work. What I want to do is run a procedure from my menu program to determine if a form is in the _screen collection. If it is (i.e. if the form is active but minimized) , then I just want to maximize the form and give it focus - otherwise I want to load the form. Any ideas?

Allan,
What have you tried? The following (or something like it) should work:

lparameters tcCaption
local oform
oform = .NULL.
With _Screen
   for lxx = 1 to .FormCount
      if upper(.Forms[lxx].BaseClass) = "FORM" ;
         and upper(.Forms[lxx].Caption) = upper(tcCaption) then
         oform = .Forms[lxx]
         exit
      endif
   endfor
Endwith

return oform

In your calling code, pass the caption in. If it finds it, it will return an object reference to that form and you can call the Show method. If it returns a NULL value, then you know to issue a DO FORM.

HTH.
