I know, but a thought maybe I can scan the executable for a marker, and then 
get the names of the forms. However, I saw that they are mixed with other 
variables in the executable, so it's not possible either.

What I try to do is implement a access rules system in my software.
The big boss with the user can define (in a Mysql Table) rules for 
read/Update/Delete/Create acces THe rules depend on the table / search , the 
user (and it's level), the contents of the records and the form name.

Of course, I can just make a formnames array by hand, but I thought it would 
be easy to do it automatically, specially since we're adding forms on a day 
to day basis.
