Message	Hi, I have a toolbar that will be loading forms for the user. I am using WinWrap to load/show the forms and that works great. What I am wanting to do is to prevent the user from clicking on the button several times and loading the same form over and over. I can set the form to showdialog so that only 1 form is loaded/visible, but no other forms will load either. So how can I check to see if the form is visible so it is not loaded again. Dale,
