When you call the form, use the NOSHOW option in the DO FORM command. The NOSHOW sets the form's visible=.f.

DO FORM MyForm NAME oMyForm NOSHOW
oMyForm.MyButton.Click()
oMyForm.Release()

In the form that you do not want to display, just set it's Visible property to .f. (false). You still have control of the form but the user just doesn't see it.
