Sorry, I forgot the most important thing. From modal forms alwasy create, show etc only modal forms if the second contains active-x.

>>Both of these workarounds are unacceptable as the second form is called from other locations where it can't be modal, and making the control invisible looks very bad.

>>So far I have found this on the following controls in VFP 6 & 7:
>>1. "MSComCtlLib.ListViewCtrl.2"
>>2. "MSComCtlLib.Slider.2"

>>The only remotely similar thing on could find at Microsoft is this which does not apply at all.

>>Does anybody have any ideas on this problem?
