That was the first thing I thought, so I did the test using just the base VFP form class and button. The only code I added was in the click event of each button.

I added an additonal button to form2 with this in the click event:

acti scree
? 'thisform = ' + thisform.name
? 'Active Form = ' + _screen.activeform.name
? 'Form order:'
FOR EACH loForm IN _Screen.Forms
   ?loForm.Name
ENDFOR

When clicked it displays:

thisform = TEST2
Active Form = TEST2
Form order:
TEST2
test1

If I move Form2 by grabbing the title bar and dragging it, Form2 will come back on top of Form1.

This is wierd?

>Do have anything going on in the background that could change the order in _Screen.Forms[]. If you have code that runs as part of a non-active form and refreshes that form, for example, this may move that form up in the order. I have had this and I wrapped the refresh in a check to see if it was equal to the _Screen.ActiveForm. If it wasn't, nothing got refreshed.
