Failure as in it doesn't work unless I minimize or maximize the form. As I understand, it's an 'old' issue. It seems that even with the "this.show" in the "Top Level Form" activate event, a message box, called from within a "In Top Level Form" guy, will disable pappa forms [X] close.

I did experiment with making all forms top level and setting DeskTOp to true. It held some promise, but the project is large and would need a few "EXTERNAL" declarations to pass cursors around.

I was wondering if a better work around than the "this.show" was available.

Does this ever happen in your projects?
