John,
In a message a couple of posts back you said:
"...Then you have a Top-Level form with Desktop set true it's closable UNTIL you launch a modal form from it and then the Close button disables and never comes
back."

I'm curious as to why you set DeskTop = .T.? Perhaps I missed something earlier on...
