>>Gil,
>>Do you mean you can click on the original form? If so, then it sounds as if your second form isn't modal. Check with the debugger to see. There may be base-class code that 'unsets' your form setting.

>Hi, as you suggested I checked the base class for my form to see if I was somehow unsetting the form settings as you mentioned; but nothing. I did have it as modeless, then I set it as modal. Still my form wouldn't stay on top. I had some code on the form's lost focus event that would deactivate it, but I got rid of it and nothing.

I spent, no, waste too much time trying to find my way around the objects when I should be concentrating on just data management. Object oriented objects should be there to make our lives easier, not more complicated. I like Fox for the speed and all the rest; I've been working with it for almost 8 years and I think I may need a change for a while...

Hi Gil,
I feel alike. It wastes time, that's a fact. Your problem is the same as mine and I am still in doubt. It sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I have gone out and are playing with Visual Basic 5.0. I have fallen in love with Fox for several years, but got stuck. Maybe it's my own basic. Fox is still in my work (can't leave it anyway).
