Razzak, Thank you for the quick answer. What you suggest is what I have done. The only difference is that the second for I open is also MDI. If I open the second without it being MDI, I can't move back and forth between the two forms, I can only access the second form that is opened.
Here's the code from the app that opens the forms. CONNECT custmr PROPERTY APPLICATION TITLE 'Dispatch' EDIT USING dispatchedjobs WHERE status='d' SORTED BY jobdate tin operator + MDI AS dispatchwindow CAPTION 'DISPATCHED JOBS' EDIT USING pendingjobs WHERE status='p' SORTED BY jobdate street + MDI AS pendingwindow CAPTION 'PENDING JOBS' RETURN Thanks for any other ideas.
