>I have a Modeless form with a pageframe, and a page with a container with objects including an EditBox. When I call a Modal form and then come out of the form, when the main form becomes active the EditBox fills itself with the same colour as the form - and I have to click on the Editbox to regain original state.

If the editbox have controlsource set - field, possibility of the pointer in the table goes End-Of-File. You have to find a way to go back to the original record just before calling the modal form. I am not sure of that, but it's possible.
