Because 0 is invalid for ActivePage, the form designer automatically sets it to 1 in the loaded copy. Unless you change this value it's not stored back. When VFP loads the class outside the designer this automatic "correction" doesn't happen.

If the code isn't checking for Thisform.Visible, your form might become visible because loading a record in the business layer triggered some controller which trigger the generic grid method.

Hi Christof,

I removed the timer object from the form and added code adding it in first page Activate method and the problem seems to go away.

Appreciate your help a lot.
