Jim,

I recieved error 1734 Property oReindex is not found.

The "This" is my application object, oApp. From the application menu, the reindex option calls oApp.ShowReindex(). This method in my application object adds the frmReindex form class (as oReindex) to my oApp object and shows it (the code you saw previously). From here users can reindex, rebuild or exit the reindex form. I wanted this to be a modal form so users would not leave it up while doing other things.

BTW, I added thisform.release() to the QueryUnload event and the modal form did close when I pressed the close button in the title bar. I thought this would have been the default behavior though.
