I am using an application framework similar to the sample to launch my forms with the launchform method from the application object:
oapp.launchform("mjrdetail")

Within the form I do:
omjrsrch = CREATE("mjrsrchfrm")
omjrsrch.show()

If the class mjrsrchfrm is modal, it shows and becomes active, but the mjrdetail form remains on top -- it won't go behind. If the class mjrsrchfrm is modeless, it just flashes up, then disappears.

I know I am missing something major here in how these stupid objects are supposed to work together. If someone could take pity on me as a VFP newbie and point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative.

With tears of frustration,

Valerie
