Hi mark, I think Activex is not my problem, I am not using any.

>I had this problem once when I had a form with an ActiveX control on Form1, the focus was on the ActiveX control, then I clicked on an object that launched a modal form. The original form remained active and I could do nothing to close the modal form. I had to code around this to make sure the ActiveX control lost focus before the modal form launched. Not sure if this is your problem, but I only have 1 experience with this. Now I stay away from modal forms as much as possible and use private data sessions so modality does not matter anymore.
