About your problem.
Form whati know about it i think the following should go on now

Start with main form and have a read events behind it
Stop the main form with a proc filled in and issue clear events.
After the read events line you start the next app.
(There should be a read events statement too)
From there when you are finished you have clear events
then you will go out of the sca program and return to the loop in your main program
there you will start main form again with a read events after it and you are going.

The following problems you can try to look for.
1. No read events in the second app.
Normally you would imediatly return to the main prg then and the main form would be started directly

2. You set _screen.visible to false when closing the second app.

3. You clear all variable references and so on and you try to quit the second app.
(with clear all, release all extended and so on.)
This can be the problem if you must be able to start the second app standalone.

Hope this helps you,
and if not please ask again.
