Hi Guys,

>Q8. My form runs fine from the command window, but only flashes by on the screen when I run it from a compiled program file (.exe)
>A8. Make sure you have a read events. Also, the best place to issue the clear events command is in thisform.destroy.
>
>Q9. I call my form and it appears briefly then just disappears.
>Q10. Make sure you are issuing a READ EVENTS

If your trying to avoid redundant info, this isn't the way to do it ;-)

Also, ( I don't belive this was asked very freeequently at all) THe question you're probably refering to wasn't resolved in this manner. THe problem was the form was LINKED and as the prgram running it ran out, the variable was released and form abolished. Though READ EVENTS could be used to solve this you can only have 1 READ EVENTS in your app. If anybody asked me this I would tell them, make your form MODAL. IMO
