Dmitry,

Glad it worked for you. Changing a form from ShowWindow = 0 to 1 should have little to no ill effect because even when it is set to 1 and launched by itself, the VFP main window is a Top-Level form, too. The only downside I can think of right off is if the lookup forms are called from another top-level form and the lookup form's Desktop property is set to false (as is by default). Then, the lookup form would not be able to be moved outside the frame of the calling form. So, you should be able to play with the ShowWindow and Desktop properties of your lookup forms to achieve the desired behavior.

HTH,
Chad
