Just to note a fine detail ... this count is incremented each time the dialog is referenced in a thread - for example sub-routines (LINKed to dialogs) count each time you LINK to them and again if they in turn LINK down and each time that Dialog RETURNs to the LINKed From dialog ... dialogs with a map get counted each time you go through the PRe-map and RESPONSE process - AND gets counted each time you return to them from a LINK in the same execution ... and so forth ... so even for dialogs that DISPLAY a MAP - this does not indicate the number of times that the End User executed the Dialog to perform a business function.
