All your forms probably have .ShowWindow=0 (in screen), and since screen is made invisible, so are they. You need to have either a main form which will have .ShowWindow=2 (as top level form) and others to show either as top level forms or in top level form. Also, having .desktop=.t. may be needed for the top form (not sure whether you have to have it for it to show at all, or just to have it show in task manager and on the windows toolbar).
