>>>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

>>What if you move this to Topform.Activate event?

>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?

Yes, it's the reason.
