As Craig already said, you can't issue a CREATE FORM command from the VFP runtime - however you can create a table - and forms are tables. (i.e., you can say USE myfrom.scx ).... so if you want to create a form at runtime you have to create it as a table and then issue the COMPILE FORM command. I've done this before and got it to work quite nicely.

The program doesn't wait for the Form Designer to be closed, but continues execution on the program line immediately following the line that contains CREATE FORM NOWAIT. If you omit NOWAIT, when CREATE FORM is issued in a program, the Form Designer is opened and program execution pauses until the Form Designer is closed.
