At runtime I want to check if a certain form is open. I know how to check if a form is open.
I do it like this(where form1 and form2 contain the names of the form)

For Each fForm In Forms
    
            If fForm.Name = Form1 Or fForm.Name = form2 Then
                
                proramm_running = True
                Exit Sub
            
            End If
            
 Next

My problem is I want to check if any copy of these forms are open and those would have different names?

I am not sure because I haven't program in VB6 for so long. I think Form.Visible would be the answer because if Form.Visible = false which mean the form doesn't not appear in the screen.

There are several collection objects that you can reference in your project in Visual Object: one is the forms collection.

Use the For Each with the Forms collection to cycle through the forms.

Try this in a sub routine.

Dim frm as form
For each frm in Forms
  debug.print frm.Name
next

I just accessed one property here. But you extract whatever property you would like during the For Each loop.
