FWIW, if you can't fix this, try to play with the AT clause of the wait window command to make it appear in the center.

>I need to display a message to the user when they first start up a form to tell them to wait and that the program is selecting data. I tried to do it with an existing window called 'Activity' that was already defined early on in the main program. The window is centered on the screen and I normally just do ?'Selecting data - Please wait' so they know that the program is working after they select it from a menu. Then when I'm done selecting I simply close the window. But for some reason I don't understand the code is being executed in the Form's Load Event but nothing is displayed. I changed it to show it using the WAIT 'Selecting data - Please wait...' WINDOW NOWAIT command. That works. But I prefer to see my Activity window centered on the screen instead of the WAIT WINDOW. Is there some reason that I can't activate another window from within a form's load event? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
