Thank you very much Cetin, this really helped !-)

I was testing several "situations", and really find out the behaviour
pretty weird.

Would you like to explain why using the fix below it works?

I am calling the first form from a program and doing this :

do form ..\forms\my_first_form.scx
READ events

Thanks again I think this fix will help more people.
