Hi Hugo,
I tried setting the form to modal but did not help. Then I stumbled across what I *think* (at this point) is what I should do. Here is what seems to work:
loTest = CREATEOBJECT("funkyForm")
loTest.OmitStep(2)
loForm.Show()
I previously just had loForm.Visible = .T. as the 3rd line above. Thanks for responding.
Albert
