Hi Vlad,

I'll try modal form (I was trying to avoid them, because they disable Menu and Command Window invokation) as a simplest workaround (since TableMaintenance is my application, I can change it whatever I like).

Regarding your second suggestion, I'm not quite sure, I understood:
what is glShutDown and lcMyWindowCaption? In TableMaintenance form's caption changes depending on selected table...

When you want to run TableMaintenance correctly, you will need to make starting form in it as modal form. If you cannot edit that application, you can also try to run it as external windows application, if it is possible for you.
