Hello everone
I don't know if I can do this but what I am trying to do is
call a form that has a avi clip on it. let it play while I
am doing things behind the screen.

I get the form up fine but I can't make it execute the next statement.
this is my code:

 oform = createobject('aviform')
 oform.autocenter = .t.
 oform.width = 400
 oform.height = 250
 oform.backcolor= RGB(128,128,128)
 oform.show

up to there everything works but I can't get it to execute these lines which are under oform.show

  && this is just a test to go to the next statement
  && I really have some appends and table manipulation
 for a = 1 to 128
    _screen.backcolor = RGB(A,A,A)
 endfor

Is there a way that I can do this?
Thanks in advance
