Alert window on opening a form with dup. program unit in form and PLL

Question

Can anyone help here? I'm upgrading a large system from forms 4.5 to forms 6i (yes, we're behind). I use an attached library for about two dozen procedures. In some cases, some of the procedures have been overriden in the Form. When I open the form in the forms designer, I get the alert message: "A Program Unit XXXXX already exists. Continue creation?"
This happens where the program unit in the library was overriden in the form. I presume since the form program unit will be found first at execution time that this message is nothing to worry about. Indeed, I have had no failures related to this yet.
Can anyone verify that this is the normal functioning of Forms 6i? Or is there a way to turn this off?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi
If you are using SAP Business One PL 19 or above you can try the following for opening a form
Dim formType As SAPbouiCOM.BoFormObjectEnum
            'default: fo_None
            Dim strUDOObjectType As String
            Dim strObjectKey As String
            'For UDO objects, set the system form enum to be "fo_UserDefinedObject" at first.
            formType = BoFormObjectEnum.fo_UserDefinedObject
            strUDOObjectType = "myUDO"
            'UDO type
            strObjectKey = "udoKey"
            'Code
            Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form = oApp.OpenForm(formType, strUDOObjectType, strObjectKey)
            'For system objects. set system form enum for "BusinessPartners" at first.
            formType = BoFormObjectEnum.fo_BusinessPartner
            strUDOObjectType = "testUDO"
            'Will be ignored in this case.
            strObjectKey = "C00001"
            'primary key of "BusinessPartners" object.
            oForm = oApp.OpenForm(formType, strUDOObjectType, strObjectKey)
            If oForm Is Nothing Then
                'No form opened with the input parameters, add your own logics here...
            Else
                'Form opened successfully, do your own work here...
            End If
