Chris,

BTW, I left an important lines out of my queryUnload() examples...put a return .f. for failure, and return .t. for success.

What line causes an error message?

What code do you use to launch a new form? If you something like the following, there is no need to evaluate:

* this is at form launch
lcForm = "testform"
do form (lcForm) name oApp.topForm  && property topForm must already exist in oApp

later, to see if you can close form:

if oApp.topform.queryunload()

>Thanks - that was only idea to stop this problem with the form not firing the lost focus... but I will put in anyway - I think that's really good!
