John, All you need to do is set a private datasession for the form and that will allow you to continue regardless of how many times the form is open - assuming that you can deal with potential record locks that is.

Mihaljevic Sent: 02 January 2007 18:19 To: [email protected] Subject: Saving and restoring data environments - and variables Hi all, In this project I'm working on, my users wanna be able to have several forms open at once. For example, if they're in the Finished Goods form, they may wanna open up the Customers form. If I open the Customers form and then close it, when I return to the Finished Goods form, the tables are closed. What do I need to do to save the current environment when opening another form on top of one that's already open so I don't lose those open tables? I've looked at a number of things in the Help, but nothing I try seems to work. Are there any particular settings I need to look into? Also, I have two variables I use in each form to keep track of whether or not I'm in adding mode or edit mode. They're called Adding and Editing. When I open that second form then close it to return to the first form (which is still open), I lose Adding and Editing since I release them when closing each form. I've looked into Public, Private and Local, but am not seeing the proper way to keep my Adding and Editing variables alive and unique to each form I have open. What do I need to look for there? Thanks very much!
