Hi Mike,

I might be way off but, in what method are you hiding the pages? If you hide the pages prior to the forms show() method they shouldn't be seen should they? Also are you maybe setting focus to a control prior the forms show(), there were some posts earlier this week about that causing the form activate to fire and the form to show prematurely.

>Modal form with a sub-classes pageframe that has 2 pages. Form has 2 additional pages. This is a form that is used for 3 apps that required the additional pages and several more that won't need them. What I want to do is prevent the user from seeing the 2 pages "disappear" when they aren't needed. I've tried _screen.lockscreen = .T. in the Load() and _screen.lockscreen = .F. in the Init() or Activate(). no joy! Tried setting pageframe and forms .visible to .F. and resetting to .T. after the form and pageframe should be complete. no joy! I tried the following API code (from another thread) in a method called SuppressScreen with a .T./.F. lparameter to turn on and off.
