if the source was open, yes. (afaik), maybe there is an option...

I don't know for sure, if the project would remember, if the form was 
closed, but the source open.

But assuming that normally form and source are open together: If you had 
50 fomrs open when you closed the project, then you can have them open 
again, or not?

Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have had the units open either.
