>I'm sure I'd find the answer here somewhere in the past. here is my madness thus far: A .prg does DO FORM frmMainMenu LINKED, after housekeeping (menus, toolbars, etc.) frmMainMenu calls a Non-modal "frmMyEngine", this calls a Modal-frmPickForm. While selecting items and adding to a ReturnArray, user needs to add an item not found in the frmPickForm. How do I call up this edtMaintain form?

Question, why is the form modal in the first place ??? Does it really need to be modal ??? If it doesn't have to be, make it modeless, and just call the other form. If it does, what are the ramifications of making it modeless ??? Personally I tend to stay away from Modal forms unless the information is so sensitive that I don't want the user to leave the form open longer than necessary.

Another thought that occurs to me would be to put a page frame on the modal form and on the second page the required entry information for a new entry. That way you could have your modal form and not even have to try to make it modeless.

Just a thought or two.
