It looks like what is happening is that the MAIN.prg calls the form, the form goes up, then control goes back to the MAIN.prg and it finishes. However the form is still up and when the timer goes off it calls the Import.prg but since the form is now running without the MAIN.prg that called it the global objects have been released. So the issue is how do I keep focus on the form until the user exits it? Must I make it modal?
