Actually, I myself created the VB DLL that's being called from VFP. However, when I try to call a function to open a form I would get an error message that it could not open any form that is non-modal. I converted the VB project from in-process ActiveX DLL to out-of-process EXE and it now works. Thanks Mark.

>>I have an ActiveX DLL created in VB6 that contains UI forms to be displayed via automation. When calling the DLL to open a form, I'm limited to only displaying forms that are modal. Is there a way around this? TIA.

>What is the syntax you use to open this form? Just a SWAG, but if this is a SHOW method, try passing 0 as a parameter. Heck, try passing 0 anyway. Without additional info about the DLL, I doubt you can get much help without documentation from whoever created the DLL.
