You will need to have a CLEAR EVENTS in the form in order to return control
back to the PRG

Assuming my answer to #1 above works, you shouldn't pass control from one form to another in this manner. You shouldn't anyway, for that matter. There should only be one READ EVENTS for any "sequence" of UI forms.

>3. how do i add menu to any form? can i not add menu to anyform?

ACTIVATE MENU, if your form is set up as a top-level form (see below).

>4. how do i hide the foxpro screen and give my forms the whole control?

Set the main form .ShowWindow property = 2 (As top level form)
