One way ...
SET STEP ON in the code that calls the 2nd form.
Go into the breakpoints setup. (Little hand symbol)
Add a breakpoint - Type = "Break when expression has changed"
In the expression put in RECNO ("<ALIAS>")
The go back the command window and type in RESUME.
Something like that should get you going.
