Anybody mind a totally different approach (if only for discussion)?

If a form is closed by clicking on the X, the variable is turned to null. So, why not just check ISNULL(myform1)? If the issue is that the form may be hidden, you could just check the visible property.

In effect, the form is open if:

!ISNULL(myform1) AND myform1.visible

Or am I missing something?
