>>In order to remain Modal, the Form needs to run in the context of the VFP screen; to fix this, make your form's ShowWindow property = 2, and then use SCREEN=OFF in the CONFIG.FPW to toally hide the VFP main screen (the APP or EXE running in development mode can't do this, but you can add _SCREEN.Visible = .F. to the Init of your form. Top-Level forms are inherently modeless (IOW they cannot be modal); your startup .PRG should do something along the lines of:

Thanks for the correction - I will make some test tomorrow morning.
Is there a difference between thisform.Release() and RELEASE THISFORM ??
