Think I found the problem. I was using setfocus() in the lostfocus event of a number of the fields. If the user clicked on one of the lookup table while having the cursor in a field with a setfocus in the lostfocus event it caused the lookup form to dive behind the calling form. So much for setfocus() in the lostfocus event.

>I have a application which I lauched several days ago in which I have encountered a problem with the lookup screens ducking behind the main modeless screen (lookup screens modal). It doesn't happen all the times, butit lock the system periodically and when you look behind the modeless there is the modal form. In an earlier post I thought it was using the click event of an image object that caused the problem so switched to command box, and it appeared to fix it momentiarily. The problem has come back so don't think it has anything to do with the object.
