>I actually followed your advice (to add a "READ EVENTS" in my main program after issueing DO FORM) but it still did not work. Sorry that I confused you by sending you a "thank-you-note" before I tested the exe! I found the same advice in MSDN (it says I can use "READ EVENTS" or change the window-type of the form from "MODELESS" TO "MODAL", but none of the advice works.) Do you have any other suggestions. Thanks so much. > >Dana
