Tamar,

ShowWindow is 1 for form b, set at design time in my data_filters form class.


>>I am working with Top Level forms for the first time. The following code is called from a button on a form, form a where showwindow is 1 - in top level form. Also, I just realized now, as I was writing this, that "form a" is modal. If set step is on, upon executing newobject, the debugger goes to the first init of the first object and executes it, then returns, then executes the following lines of code, but form b never becomes visible. If I take out the set step on, everything executes just fine.
