Up to five levels of modal forms may be opened in sequence and then need to be closed in sequence. However, when moving back through the forms VFP jumps over some of them and activates the top level modeless form leaving the other forms incomplete and on top - without any way of activating them!

The documentation doesn't list any limitations. Perhaps memory or other resources might eventually be a limit.

I suggest you just write a test program yourself, opening the same form multiple times - up to what you think might be a practical limit; perhaps 100 or 1000 times.
