John,

YOu are going to need to either set the child form ShowWindow as In Top level form or As Top-level form.

>I have a top-level form which, at times, calls other forms like a popup calendar to select a date. When the other form comes up, the top-level form disappears. When the popup form is closed the top-level form does not reappear.
>
>FormName.Visible = .T. - has no effect
>FormName.Activate - has no effect
>FormName.Release - does release the form
>
>How can I get my form to reappear?
