My first thought was "What menu item code?" but upon rereading I think you mean "What menu button was pushed that contained the code that started this form?". Is this correct? If the latter how about putting something into a 'global' and then testing it in your form?

Write a PLL procedure that uses 'get_menu_item_property(label)' in a 'select' statement to get the form name and then do the form call. Then call this PLL procedure from each menu item.
