Yes, I did before I posted the response and it worked fine. I just tried it again (after releasing the Layout toolbar) and I get the error you describe. Apparently, the Layout toolbar was already defined and just hidden when I tried it the first time. The help file says that you do:

SHOW WINDOW 'Layout'

But it goes on to say that the toolbar must be active first. I currently have a program that activates and docks the document view, data view, and properties windows without problem. I hadn't tried it on a toolbar until today and on first attempts all seemed well. But after playing with it more, I don't see what is needed to make it work in all circumstances.

Once it is activated, you can use SHOW WINDOW and HIDE WINDOW to make appear and disappear at will. Also, you can issue DEACTIVATE WINDOW and ACTIVATE WINDOW to make it appear and disappear. The only time it fails is when you manually uncheck the toolbar. That is all very odd indeed.

Sorry,
Chad
