Dennis, is this one of those cases where you need to create each form “on the fly” using variables with a name that reflects a sequence number throughout?
So form #1 might be made using a sequence of variables beginning with vF1_ and form #2 with vF2_ and so on. Then you can do something like SET vVarName = (‘vF’ + (CTXT(.vFormCount)) +’_’ + [rest_of_name] ) – if you follow me. I have never tried it so I might be talking rubbish. Regards, Alastair.

These are going to be variable forms. The object of this exercise is to avoid multiple sessions. If I can hide/show them on demand I am golden. I might be able to use a form timer to check a variable, but I’m trying to avoid that too.

Take extreme precautions. If you need isolation between the forms, consider running each in a different session of R:Base. -- Larry
