Jeff,
Take a look at message 444959. You could code like this to the Unload event of your forms and make the previous form the active window.

HTH.

>I have 4 forms, the 1st form calls the 2nd form, the 2nd

>So, the first form is a modeless form with a grid and a toolbar
>and is running "in-screen". When user clicks the toolbar button the 2nd form
>is invoked it is running DESKTOP=.T. (to conserve screen space). The 2nd form
>then calls the 3rd form and 3rd calls 4th.

>PROBLEM: When the 4th form is closed, the 3rd form falls behind the 2nd form (usually).
>Since all of these forms are modal, the user is dead. Usually an ALT+TAB away from the
>app, and then back to the app will bring the 3rd form back on top (usually).

>This behavior is eratic and not at all consistent. It will, on occasion perform
>properly. This happens with MODAL forms having DESKTOP=.T. Anyone know of a fix?
>Seems that setting ShowWindow=2 (as top level form) work's, but the state of the app
>is impossible to manage with this setup. Also, setting DESKTOP=.F. works, but
>leaves too little space available for my form(s).
