>Yes it can, but you have to provide direct reference to this form. There are two ways to get this reference, either you get it on-fly by searching through _SCREEN.Forms() collection or keep it in some pre-defined collection when you start a form (DO FORM ... NAME ... LINKED)

I have a toplevelform that was created with a "oSDI=CREATEOBJECT("TOPFORM")". Have a modeless form that is was created with a "opptag=CREATEOBJECT("PPTAG")". opptag has a browse window (changing to a grid is not an option at this time). When focus is on the browse window, modal forms ("do form" from the menu) will not show. When i click on the opptag (browse does not have focus), the modal forms will show. When i click on the osdi and then go to the menu, the modal forms show.So thought in the menu I would either osdi.clicked() or opptag.click() before "do form" - but these did not work.

need to take focus off the browse window (or opptag) in the menu.you any ideas why my osdi.click is not working?

thanks - brenda
