>I am writing a project in which all forms must be checked for user access before launching them. A badge scan is required when the form is requested. I cannot use a universal login because this application sits on a shop floor and is stateless. To handle security I have a function in the project's main procedure file that the form name is passed to. Security is checked through a security object and if the user is okay the form is opened. The problem, how do I launch the form as an object and have it stay open? When I run the function the form loads, shows, and then immediately vanishes. Maybe it would stay open by me using a global variable as the object name? But then the forms would keep overwriting each other because they're all using the same global. I would rather load the forms as objects with the newobject() command then run them with do form.

There is more than one way and an easy one is to make them modal.
