>I would suggest using messagebox(). Because unlike additional forms, messagebox() doesn't cause the form's some events (ie: activate event) fire on return :) Reentrant firing events might be other invitation to errors in some cases (ie: lostfocus of activecontrol fires, your form kicks in, gotfocus of control fires on return, or valid event causes another error in between). To my experience, calling messagebox() is harmless compared to calling a new form :)

Cetin,

This is a good thing to be know. I don't think it was an issue in VFP 3.0, but in our conversion to VFP 5.0 it has been a problem (workarounds required at times).

Do you (or anyone else reading) know of a way to make a modal form act like a messagebox? In other words, avoid firing LostFocus, Activate, etc. in the calling form...
