There was a similar thread going in FoxForum.com called "WindowType resets itself??" under the General category. The crux of the situation was that VFP makes top-level forms non-modal, and the only place you can really set it back is the form's Load, Init, or Show method, the Show being the best place to do this since it has a parameter to determine the style.

>I have an app I am trying to convert from VFP3.0 to VFP6.0. It has a main form that is MODELESS and several other MODAL forms. I hide the main VFP screen and the Main Menu form is set as TOP LEVEL, MODELESS. The other forms are ShowWindow - In Top Level, Desktop - FALSE, MODAL. But they don't behave modally. What am I doing wrong?
