Close SQL Report's window when base window closes

Not planned

Hi, I have a function button on a screen that runs a Universal Function with a type of SQL Report. The SQL Report window remains open when the user closes the screen that called it. 

I'd like to automatically close the SQL Report's window when the user closes the main screen (clicking 'X' or OK', etc.)
I tried to script this via a Validation Configuration that fired a UF on the Form Closed event. Found that the macro's Activate command doesn't work on the SQL Report window (i.e. Formtype: BOY_41_SQLREPORT_UF-013).
Suggest that either:
-- The macro's Activate command be enhanced to allow it to close SQL Report windows OR
-- Add a 'Close with parent window' option to the SQL Report which when selected will automatically close the SQL Report window when the screen that called the SQL Report is closed

Thanks

  We have the same issue with the UDT Handler.  The user can launch any number of SQL Report and / or UDT Handler windows.  The macro CLOSE() command closes the current window, but what if the user had clicked to another window?
