G'day David,
I'll bet that this is a top-level form and the desktop property is set to .T. If so, simple set the desktop property to .F. (it's ignored anyway with top-level forms). You'll get your wait window back.
I've been meaning to write an FAQ about this. I'll try to get to it a lunch.
How's thing's down-under.
Best,
George
