Nadya,
I created an .exe file with a non-modal form, with a button that launches a modal form. On the modal form, there is a button which launches the file_chooser code. Each form is based on VFP base classes.
I had no problem running the .exe under W2K or Windows 98 (outside of development environment).
You have no problem running modal form by itself, so I would be strip most of the stuff out of first form to see if it starts working. Did lockscreen not fix it?

I'm sending you a picture of the screen, after I clicked open button on File_Chooser dialog, so you can see this weird problem yourself. BTW, I found, that this behavior is only the first time. After second time it disappears just fine...
