I'm surprised no one piped up to tell me "CLOSEWINDOW alias" was already available. It makes an alternate solution far more practical.
I've decided that best way to handle this is to on have one child form open at a time. The master form will orchestrate this. Will a little ingenuity, saving info on one form and opening another and repopulating it will work out just fine. Thanks to all who responded. As usual, the KISS principle applies.
