Jane,
Its not form.show.window = 2. ShowWindow is a property of the form. Read the help top for the ShowWindow property and maybe it will make a little more sense.

>>Top-level form is a form with Form.ShowWindow=2, then you add toolbar there in its activate event, about the same as you did.
>>When toolbar is added, you may remove it the same way: RemoveObject().
