    well thats the mysterious bit. obviously, i couldn't access the ChartForm when they all are closed. dont know how it does it, but using exists property does work when compared to using visible. or visibelOnScreen.

Right I think i found 'why'.

I am using the properties 'Visible' or 'VisibleOnScreen' - T.C will sees these object properties fine as they are exists in the Object browser. But once the object in question no longer there, then, the 'Visible' or VisibleOnScreen' becomes false negative.

After looking around, the object in question becomes Non‑existent (Exists = False).

So i used, 'Exist' property, instead. this works fine now. The While Loop does takes longer to respond when the 'Exist' = False though, but i can live with it.
