Can you get an object reference to the main form (possibly from the _Screen.Forms collection or through a form manager)? If so, try issuing a Form.Draw to see if that clears up the video problems.

Just a thought.

>I have used several modal forms to conduct specific functions. When a form's exit button is pressed, the form is released and the previous calling form is activated. Yet, the image of the released form is still visible behind the active form and on top of the main form. These images disappear when I return to the main form and it is refreshed.
