Hi there Folks,

On the start up of the application, I load and show a particular form - I then proceed to hide the particular form.
(The user has an option to unload the form -completely)

How can I check if the particular form is still in memory, so that I dont reload another instance of the form - instead I just make the form Visible (if it is hidden).

So for instance, if I have a form named frm0004, I need to check if the form is still in memory or not, or if it is hidden or visible.

Thanks for your time and assistance.

Regards

In a boolean function routine

Function FindForm(strName as string) as boolean
    Dim fm as form

    for each fm in forms
        if fm.name = "The name of the form I'm looking for" then
            FindForm = true
            exit function
        end if
    next
    FindForm = False
End Function
