That was my first thought too, however, the exact same report criteria are used when the report is run either way... I'll replace the report form command with a browse command just to be sure, but I don't think that we have hit upon the solution yet!

>>The problem is that when I generate a "report form ... preview" from a form called from another form the preview window immediately disappears. If I call the report without using the first form, then the preview window sticks.
>>
>>ie, form UTIL_PROG calls form TORTOISE which issues a REPORT FORM ... PREVIEW which flashes on the screen and then goes away. Its kinda like having a form without a read events in a .exe.

>>I suspect its a modal or windowstate problem, but since I still haven't gotten a handle on what modal means, I can't fix it without just going thru all the possible options.

>>Please advise the best way to handle this? Thanks! :-)
