I created a new SDI form derived from the basic VFP form class (instead of my own form class) and launched the SCX like you mentionened. As expected, the form is on top of the VFP main screen. Then I saved that form as a class, instantiated it in my application object and showed the instance. It appears behind the _SCREEN!

Yesterday I read your reply to another SDI related thread. That let me doubt whether I am using the right approach to implement a SDI user interface. Would it be better to hide the VFP main screen and to create a top level form which serves as application main screen?
