ken,

looked at the name clause of the browse in help. it gives you the ability to use the object-oriented properties available for the Grid. do not think this will help me. any other ideas?

thanks - brenda

>I can't confirm this right now, but take a look at the name clause of the browse command. Using it gives you all the properties and methods of a form.

>>have about 50 browse windows in my app. when the client clicks on the underlying form (usually by mistake in trying to resize the browse) the browse window dissappears. client would like the browse to act like a modal form. all the browse windows are using a window template. tried adding the windowtype = 1. window type is 1 in the debugger but it did not change the behavior of the browse window.
