But I wish to know if there is possibility for me to use in the scenario where I have main form attached to it is menu. The Menu opens other forms in readmodal. So can I set this routine in the main form where by when it closes, it will also close the opened readmodal form along with it. > You can use the main form's form_canClose() event handler to check if one of your subsidiary readmodal forms is open.  If it's open then close it.  Once the open readmodal form has been closed the form_canClose event handler will allow the main form to be closed. findInstance() takes a specific form's classname as the parameter so you will need to test for all the subsidiary forms even though only one can be open at a time   function form_canClose()      local f      f = findinstance("Form1Form")      if not empty(f)         f.close()         f := findinstance("Form1Form",      endif      f = findinstance("Form2Form")      if not empty(f)         f.close()         f := findinstance("Form1Form",      endif      //repeat for all forms which may be open      return true Mervyn.
