I like your suggestion better. So I put the following as a "Procedure" in my Main Menu and Shortcut menu for the Navigator selection:

DO GetForm WITH cForm

I've created the following function, "GetForm" in my stored procedures"

FUNCTION GetForm
PARAMETERS cForm
  IF _Screen.FormCount > 0
    FOR EACH loForm IN _Screen.Forms
      IF loForm.Name = cForm
	loForm.Activate()
      ENDIF
    ENDFOR
  ELSE
    DO FORM (cForm)
  ENDIF
ENDFUNC

That way I can use the same function for checking for a form and launching if necessary using the same process for each form.

Thank you so much for your help.


>I would rather itterate through screen's form collection to check if form already exists.

FOR EACH loForm IN _SCREEN.Forms
>  IF loForm.Name = < >
>* or
>  IF loForm.Caption = < >
>...
>ENDFOR
