>>Hi there,
>>I have created a function to browse anything (i.e accounts, items) and return a value. It is a form which is created programmatically and gives users a quick lookup into the account name, and selection by clicking the first characters of this account. The problem I face is that the main calling form is a desktop form and when calling this function I cannot set its desktop property to .T. at runtime. I have tried showwindow and other solutions but the new auto createed form is just hiding somewhere and does not show itself on the screen.
