Hi

    I do not know whether I understand you correctly or not.. I think you need to
open or start form module(s) . If the user(s) switches between different forms then if I were you I will use a master form which will have link to all
possible forms and will also include the menu accordingly. Creating a library procedure for controlling the pervious forms where you may want to go from current form will be the best bet. In this way you will need one form to be restarted from the registry or in startup group... which ever you prefer..

   Good luck..
Pradhan...
