>>I have a modal lookup form class with its .ShowWindow property=1 (In Top-Level Form). In the Init of my top level form I use CREATEOBJECT() to create the lookup form object but when I tried to .Show() it nothing happens. When I traced it in the debugger the objects .ShowWindow=0. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? TIA

Thanks Ed, this worked perfectly. Is the reason it wasn't working in the .Init(), because at that point the TopLevelForm doesn't actually exist yet?
