On further investigation VMP manages the TALK setting in a method of its frmData class. Unfortunately the form I was calling wasn't based on that class. Thanks to xxdthack.prg now it is.

Thanks again.

>>I am having a problem with a VMP based modal form. I can run the form itself standalone and all is well. I can call the form from another form run standalone and all is well. When I compile the project and run it and the modal form is opened from a command button onclick what appears to be the called forms property values and function names scroll up the calling form and once the called modal form is open they scroll up that form as well.
