There are two forms:

1) Form 1 sets a record pointer
   Form 1's deactivate remembers pointer to an array (In a 'custom' 
   property).
2) Form 2 is selected off menu
   Form 2's init uses Form 1's table and reads though (to bottom) to populate a
   list control (ends at eof())

When I look at the pointer form 1 was spose to remember, it shows up as eof(), where form 2's read through left it.

The work around was to save the last point set by Form 1 before Form 2's read through and then reset after read loop completed. That was enough to stall it soze form 1's deactivate could complete the job.

Is there any way to force form 1's deactivate to complete before form 2's init is fired?
