Is there a way in a custom access menu to allow for the list of forms that are open like it does in the standard windows menu under the window option part of the menu.

One simple way would be to capture the form name, and write the string to a list temporay table, set the table as the source of a listbox. This is the same technique use for auditing database use.

That would work but I want it in the actual custom menu.

Such as I have an option in the menu bar called window and has like tile, cascade,etc. and I would like to list open forms so that the user can switch to them if need be.

Well,
you could fake the menu by creating a popup form that opens (just the open forms listed) when the menu bar option is clicked. You could position the popup form so it opens under the menu bar.
