Because the Form is modal. This is by design. You can’t access another window until you close a modal Form.

>I am using DBF style help for my form. When I run the main form and click the right mouse button I see my help window appear for that field. But when I go to my Modal form and click my right mouse button for DBF style help, the help window appears behind the Modal form and I can't see it unless I move the window to the side. Help hides behind the window. I don't have Always on Top property set to Always on Top. It is .F. (default). How come I can't get my help window to appear in front of my Modal form window?

>I put the Modeless starting form as Always on Bottom = .T. so the Modal form will be on top of that one. Which is working, but help only works correctly on my Modeless starting form.
