Cetin --

No, what I'm doing is making these forms non-modal (they WERE non-modal). My test-form is non-modal -- isn't that why I can give my mainform (also non-modal) the focus?

How can my main form have focus but not be completely visible? (I have not set the AlwaysOnTop property.)

Thanks,

Jim

Of course, I can move the form, or minimize it, but I expected it not to be visible.

_screen.visible=.F.
