Hi all,

I have a small conundrum ... in my database, I've built two forms (call them Form1 and Form2), so people could have two work screens open, without leaving a second client session going. 

I am now exploring the option "Open Form in a New Tab", which I've attached to a command button, so far so good, but I want to limit it to having to tabs open at once maximum, so we don't have 50 users with 6 tabs open, and the chaos of all those locked records.

So, I've tried setting in GLOBAL an int variable called vScreens, and every time they use the 'second screen' button it increases the value by +1 in vScreens, etc, but the problem is, every time it opens a new tab, it runs the GLOBAL code, and overwrites my local global value ...

Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this?

Thanks!

Thanks Ray!  I'll give that a try!
