Don,

You might try making the second top-level form to actually be In Top-Level form instead of another top-level form itself. Then, set the Desktop property to true for that form. This will allow it to move outside of its parent form.

One form is basically the opening screen with a simplistic menu on it and from there child forms ( within top level ) are displayed. Because of size limitations of the main form I created another top level form which displays on top of the menu form when selected. What I've noticed is that other forms can't see the larger form.... as by code ie. secondForm.controlonit....
