>When I run a Non Modal Form from a Modal Form, the Non Modal still gets focus, but acts like a modal, and you can't get back to the Modal from the Non Modal. Or is that basically what you're saying above?

I see the same thing. Whenever you set a form to modal, every form subsequently called from the modal form, no matter the WindowType setting, acts modal. The only way I found around this was to make the second form a Top-level form. Then it is non-modal but if you click on form A, you can't get back to form B.

I thought this was by design. If you have a modal setting for a form and call another form, it stands to reason the new form should also be modal creating a simple unbroken linear progression.

BTW, also VFP 6.0 SP3 on NT4 Server SP5.
