It's probably something I haven't done right in the first place, couple of years ago. It's either the forms I tried back then were not really modal (contained in a non-modal form set) or something else. Let's forget this - we're all building apps with Read Events early enough or designed like your code here, so this really isn't an issue anymore. The nonexistence of IsReadEventsActive() function is actually not a problem.
