Hi Ed ---

Would you be interested in an experiment? In the top-level form in which you launch a modal in Activate, change Desktop to .T. and recompile...what happens?


>Sorry, to interrupt this interesting discussion. You know I have modal forms in topform, and I even start one modal form (login) from top-form activate event. It always worked Ok, and I did not suspect any problems. Needless to say, that I did not touch Desktop properties.

>>Yes I have. That's what I've been doing for the last hour. Seems that the problem does indeed revolve around the Desktop setting in VFP6 with all the service packs installed. I'm running Win95.
