A modal window can still be moved, making the underlying form visible.

>The main/first form is WindowType 'Modeless' and ShowWindow as '2 - As Top-Level Form' with the called form WindowType 'Modal' with ShowWindow also set to '2 - As Top-Level Form'. However, the original calling window is still accessible if I click it and I don't want the user to ba able to change anything on it but still be able to see the data ond controls. I know that I am doing something wrong.

>The purpose for doing this is to move my existing application away from using the VFP _screen so that the modal child windows live on top of and/or outside the boudaries of the parent window.
