if the form is modal, you won't see the '2' untill after the form has been realesed, if the WindowType is not 2 then you will see the '2' before the Form is done.

Hi Mike,

I hadn/t answered before because I hadn't been able to try your suggestion. I haven't had very much luck, so far.

What I have found is that once a form is modal, I have to call ThisForm.RELEASE to get out of it. CLEAR READ will not do. Is that correct?

Since I am trying to write an automatic migrator, that means replacing the CLEAR READ with ThisForm.RELEASE(). Is that basically correct ?

Thank you.

Alex
