George, if the third form is modal, try adding the following code surrounding starting the third form:

DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN WIN32API
DECLARE SHORT LockWindowUpdate IN WIN32API INTEGER hWnd
DECLARE SHORT SetForegroundWindow IN WIN32API INTEGER hWnd
nHWnd = GetActiveWindow()
=LockWindowUpdate(nHWnd)

*Call third form

=LockWindowsUpdate(0)
=SetForegroundWindow(nHWnd)
>4. Release third form.

>Minimize the second form and thing bring it to a normal or maximized state again and it the form will be correct.
