>In my menu code I execute a "DO FORM formname NAME whatever LINKED WITH param". This syntax was created by the VFP conversion wizard for a 2.x project. I have scrapped the pageframe-based formset that it created, and created a new form without pageframes. But when my code executes the form, the form disappears. I tried making the form Modal, but that had no effect. Is there something I have to place in the menu code just before or after executing the form? Something else??? Maybe the LINKED clause is my problem?

Look at READ EVENTS and CLEAR EVENTS in the help file - the read is th point at which the form will wait for an event to happen (keypress, mouse, etc)

Not sure about the linked clause.
