I think Nick's got his top-level working, but I'm not 100% on that. So let's go back to the start:

Nick: you have a top-level, as Mike describes, and you have a project with a main PRG, and in that main PRG, you have code like:

DO FORM mytoplevel
READ EVENTS

You build an EXE, then you run it, all this is okay? (You have a CLEAR EVENTS somewhere, also, so you can close the app?)

Anyway, if all the above are working, now all your other forms are "in top-level", right? Modals work just fine in top-levels, so that's not a problem, in general. You say some child forms show and some don't?
