Cor,
I did use your sample above and I now check that the form I wish to open
isn't already open but not topmost in the window order. If it isn't found
I just open a new instance and show it.

Thanks for that!

I am still interested to know why the GC process (or VB itself) doesn't get
rid of a form that I have explicitly closed and disposed. As a programmer
I need to know that the system is doing what I tell it. This sort of "I'll
get rid of it when I feel like it" sort of attitude makes me nervous,
particularly when nowadays we should be worried about hackers being able to
scan memory for information!!

I would be interested to know why MS couldn't give us a Dispose() that does
Dispose immediately!?
