Dan,

They can navigate to the same patient, but the second instance of the form will be in read-only mode in this case with some indication of it in the caption. At least this is what the manager wants and I see that it makes sense from the user's point of view. Now from the programmer's point of view it is almost impossible to implement, and that is very unfortunate.

UPDATE. I am currently thinking, that I may try to trick it by adding a long string to the caption, so numbers will not show up. I will play with it later.

>>Thanks, Chris. Here the numbers are plain confusing. We want to avoid them at all. We dig into the code and found the same, that the Windows Pad setting overrides "do not put numbers" setting. Our form's names will be unique, because we append patient names to the title...
