Hi,

If you set Desktop = .T., then is equal to ShowWindow = 2 (As Top-Level Form).
Modal forms must set ShowWindow = 1 (In Top-Level Form).

So I cannot do anything on that original form, which covers the modal form, and the only way to get back to the modal form is to minimize/maximize VFP or sometimes to click again outside and then back into the _SCREEN area.
