The best way to handle that is either to have a function that you call to open any forms that get opened and another function to close forms. Then you can add the form name to an array when you open it and delete it from the array when you close it.

Or, have the form add itself and delete itself from the array when it opens or closes.

After that what you are looking for is a snap.
