How modal is your modal form? Is it modal by design (i.e. showwindow set in PEM window) or are you just creating it invisible and then calling its .show() with 1? The latter may not necessarily work if something makes the form visible before that (any .setfocus() anywhere in the code, parent class code, any control's code... if called before end of .init(), would do that). Though, in that case, it should throw an "cannot change modality of visible form" or some error like that. Then, again, the error may not come up for whichever reason.

Try to Set Step On immediately before the oFrm.show(1) line (if that's what you're doing). Is the form visible at the time? If it is, check its .showwindow property, I'd bet that it's set to 2.

Anyway, you can have one Read Events for the login form, and the other for the goApp.AppIsRunningAndWaitingForUser'sMove=.t.
