Hi Nancy,

No subclass, just a single form.. not using form wizard.. only a plain form with 3 buttons on it.. i'm using VFP6.0

I also added a form property to store which button is pressed then return it at release events.. that's why i'm using "do form MyForm to MyVar"..

maybe more details:
objects: Myform, button1, button2, exit_button

events:

Myform.release
return thisform.user_option

button1.click
thisform.user_option=1
thisform.release

button2.click
thisform.user_option=2
thisform.release

exit_button.click
thisform.release

the form is set to modal, closable=0, movable=0, controlbox=0, alwaysontop=1, autocenter=1, and nothing more.. have I done anything that would rune the modal property?

thanks for your reply,
Jimi
