You are right ...but, is there any reason to open the same id/form twice for user? I can't see any situation. This should not be be possibly I think, in next aruser.exe ...? One of the most frequest asked questions is, why are so may windows opened in ars ../L ars

An alternative might be to use events to close the window of an already-displayed request. You could build an AL with Execute On = Display, no Run If (or 'Request ID' != $NULL$?), If Action = Run Process PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT (ARS 6.0, DAB, p. 710). <target> would probably be * (i.e. all windows managed by the client) and <event_type> could be a concatenation of $SCHEMA$ and $Request ID$ (unique to form and record). A second AL with an earlier Execution Order, Execute On = Event, Run If = $EVENTTYPE$ = $SCHEMA$ + 'Request ID', If Action = Close Window (possibly preceded by a message to let the user know what's going on). This isn't great, either. You really don't know what you're closing. The user could have searched for multiple records and happens to be positioned on one that was later searched for/displayed in another window. The second display would cause the first to close. Could be irritating.

Use Global fields ..? Give an error/warning(?) message if criteria is met? Any way to switch to the already opended window?
