>TIA,

1) Create a dummy in-top-level form (small and out of visible area). Call that passing modeless toplevel form's name. It calls toplevel form and provides 'modality'

2) A timer control which is enabled to track toplevel called. Code that should run after return should be in a different method. Timer calls that method and disables itself when toplevel unloads.

3) Put 'OnReturn' code to a custom method. Pass thisform to called toplevel. Called calls oCaller.OnReturn in unload.

All work in older VFP versions too.
