Steve,

The problem fixed by setting property nLastActivePage to 1 in design-time.

Thanks a lot for your help.

After I removed pageframe from this form, it works just fine. So, the pageframe is a culrpit. I'll try pageframe without objects to see, if pageframe indeed causes the problem. However, I still need a solution... and getting rid of pageframe would not be it :)

Later tests indicated, that the problem indeed in this particular pageframe. So, now I have to examine it closely...

This code in Page.Activate causes this problem:

********************************************************************
*  Description.......: Page1.Activate()
*  Calling Samples...:
*  Parameter List....:
*  Created by........:

********************************************************************
with thisform
	if .nLastActivePage<>1
<b>		.lockscreen=.t.</b> && Causes this whole problem...
		.dataenvironment.initialselectedalias='DataDict'
		select DataDict
		this.refresh()
		.navstand.navupdate()
		.navstand.lstOrders.enable()
		.navstand.lstOrders.refresh()
		lockscreen=.f. 
		.nLastActivePage = 1
	endif
endwith	

Thanks again for your help.

>>Just found, that the first form was modal too. But making it non-modal doesn't make a difference. 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...
