Hi Ed,

How can you be everywhere at the same time? ;-)
Always there to help... appreciated.

Your comments forced me to review all the parameters and indeed the property of the form had to be Window Type = 1 (Modal)

It now works fine in both .APP and .EXE

But I have this VFP window behind when running the .EXE. How can I get rid of that?
