Fabio,

I didn't use the Desktop in-TopLevel Modal just because I like the appearance and flexibility of standalone windows. It could of course be done that way if necessary.

I'm interested in your potential solution, let me see if I have this clearly:

1) Bind the Unload event of the called Form to a method of the caller.
2) Place the code that used to run immediately after the call into this method. As long as there are no timing issues, this should work.

This is a good idea, I may try it. Thanks,
