Clicking on a menu to show form oForm is not identical to Alt + whatever key combination, even though the exact same code is executed.

Using the mouse, the called top-level form stays on top of the other forms (if any), but using the keboard it's minimized and has to be activated again from the taskbar.

The code that gets executed is

* DoForm() method of MainForm 
*
Lparameters cForm
Local oForm AS String, oShowForm AS String
oForm ='o' + cForm

With This
   oShowForm = '.' + oForm
   Try
      &oShowForm..Show()   && Fails the first time
   Catch
     .AddProperty(oForm,Null)
     &oShowForm  = Createobject(cForm)
     &oShowForm..Show()
   Endtry
Endwith

If you have any suggestions or comments I'd like to hear from you.
