   I don't understand this.   
      
   If you go into design mode of your form, chose Format-Window Style from the   
   menu and in Window properties - Title enter "MyTitle" and save the form.   
   Next time you open the form it should read "MyTitle" in the title bar. Does   
   that happen for you? If it does, what name will your other application read?   
      
   I also agree with the others, I haven't seen the type of short names you are   
   seeing.   
      
   There must be something in the way you open your forms that cause this.   
   Could you show the code you are using for opening your forms?

   PS. I'm using P10 which is basically the same as P11
