If a form has been displayed without subsequent closure, then a "display form" would just retrieve it from memory, else from disk. So why have an "open form" command? -- George Herson george@brooks.ics.uci.edu (714)856-2174 ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()( UCalifornia Irvine, Info&CompSci REALITY IS INFINITELY PERFECTIBLE If it feels good--believe it.
