If you create a form using createobject() but never show it would that do? It is not clear what the purpose of your form is. Or use the _screen if you need to add properties or methods.

>Does anyone have a way to create a VFP form that does not activate; more specifically does not take focus away from the currently active form. The VFP toolbar behaves in this way but it is simply not flexible enough for my needs (eg, a toolbar cannot be placed outside the VFP screen or a top level form).
