Hi Larry,

I've already gone for option 3 which is not too bad. I'd sort've realised what was going on. Thanks for your persistence.

Regards

Paul

>Hi Paul,
>Non-modal forms don't stop program execution. Form zzz needs to be modal. But as I said before, Top-level forms can not be modal. Rock and hard place?

>Options to look at:
>1. Can you put "do more code here" stuff in the Destroy event of form zzz? This way it won't run until you close the form.
>2. Can you set form zzz ShowWindow to 1 (in Top-level form)? WIll this cause a major problem with your system design?
>3. Can you put both forms in the normal VFP screen? You can do the following:

With _Screen
>   .Titlebar = 0
>   .WindowState = 2
>   .Backcolor = rgb(0,0,0) or .Picture = some file
>Endwith

>Turn the status bar off (set status bar off) and the VFP desktop will look like your Windows desktop.

>Good luck.
