In the command window I can do this;
DO FORM someform NAME form1 NOSHOW
form1.show()
form1.hide()

all day long and have it give me the results I want.
In my app, I'm running a top-level form which has an array as a property. I load that array in a loop with;

DO FORM someform NAME someform NOSHOW

Each form's name is unique...that's just an example.

There are 6 forms loaded. Why is it that in my top-level form the forms will not display? I have "1 - In Top-Level Form" set in the class that is the baseclass for the final forms. I've even set "Alawys on Top" = .T. ......"Desktop" is .F. although I've set it to .T. to no avail. I've used LINKED or without it in the DO FORM command and nothing seems to make these forms display. I know they are there as I can put wait windows in a textbox and the wait windows appear. I've mapped the .Top, .Left, etc and had them display in a wait window so it should be there. Any ideas? Why does it work in _SCREEN but not in a top-level form?
