We have the latest version of 7.6.  I want our people to be able

to allow an individual to open multiple forms?

Jim,

When opening a form (EDIT USING formname), use the additional
option of "MDI AS 'alias name'.

Example:

EDIT USING formname ORDER BY orderbyclause MDI AS 'aliasname'

For complete details and a sample application to demonstrate
the practical use of MDI forms, refer to 2008 SAT Applications:
