I know there has to be a standard way to do this. Within my app I launch forms from menus, from command buttons within other forms, and by double-clicking areas of forms, all using the DO FORM command. I am using the following code in the LOAD event of some of my forms to prevent creating a new instance of the form if it already exists:

IF TYPE("Reportselect") = "O" and !ISNULL(Reportselect)
Reportselect.Show()
RETURN .F.
ENDIF

Of course "Reportselect" is the name of this particular form. How can I use a generic version of this code in the base class for my forms.


Thank you kindly for your help.
