Gerard,

You can programatically open the form designer

n = adir( laFiles, "*.scx" )
for i = 1 to n
   modi form (laFiles[i,1]) nowait
endfor

I don't think there's hard documentation of the intricacies of the SCX/VCX.

What kind of global changes are you making to these forms? I ask because I wonder if it's something that would be better done by a form class.
