>>>My app opens to a form (frmOpen) with buttons that users click to get to various areas. In the Click method of each button, I minimize frmOpen and DO FORM to move to the selected area.
>>>
>>>If the user exits from the selected form, and no other form is open, I would like to programmatically maximize frmOpen as part of the cmdQuit Click(). I use a global array to track open forms. What I can't figure out is how to address the WindowType property of frmOpen so that it pops back up. How can I address a property or call a method of a minimized form?
