>>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.

Probably you've looked for this, but I had that behavior when the launcher form was "alwaysontop"...
