>Sorry, but you said yesterday that your application doesn't have top-level form. If you have ShowWindow=2, it means that you have one. This case you should get rid of VFP main window, i.e. _Screen. Set _Screen.Visible=.F.

There are several forms in my application that show as top level forms. The application has over 300 forms in it. I found that if a given form needed to have dialogs called from it, it works better to have that form set as a top level form so the dialogs, which are set to display in top level form don't wander off.
