As a COM process, would the forms be more likely to "stick" together, or do formsets make the forms do so? I don't know enough about COM or formsets, and like I said, I can't for the life of me see where he made the previous app have the forms stick together. There is nothing in the activate, show, or lostfocus/gotfocus, nothing in Deactivate, no timers, no win32api calls, and this was all written in VFP 7, so I know there can't be any Windows API hooks.

Yet clicking on one form makes the other come to the fore as well, even when a non-VFP WIndows app gets in front of them. I will keep digging, but I was just looking for any other off-the-wall ideas folks might have on how the forms are being kept together.
