Ed, it seems that VFP uses the Name property of the form as the form's VFP window name, so that if you know the Name property of the form (lets says it's called frmMyForm), you can say:
Activate Window frmMyForm Top
Zoom Window frmMyForm NORM

So what, you say? This is a segway to asking for your advice on the issue of never-use-a-window-name to refer to a form object. For example, I have found that if I have a modeless form sitting around out there, and based on some event that is NOT related to that form (i.e., there is no ThisForm reference), I then need to close that form, I have found it very convenient to say:
Release Window frmMyForm
...rather than iterating through _screen.forms(x) just to find the form (or forms) that I need to close.

Is this blasphemy? Thanks.

>>Problem is that since the form is minimized it does'nt appear in _screen.forms(x). Or is it a bug in my programming?
