Sergey,

Thank you for your answer, although I'm not sure how i applies to my question.

Let me try to be more precise:

SCREEN = OFF

The entire app consists of three forms.
oMainform is the form from which the other forms are opened.

If no other forms are open or all open forms are minimized, the main form is supposed to be displayed.

To achieve this I had the code you see below in the Deactivate method of Form1.

It's supposed to check if

a) Form2 is an object (i.e. has been opened) and if so, if it's minimized.

or
b) has never been called

In either case, it should display the main form.

Form2 checks for Form1 in a similar fashion.

And like I wrote, it does, but only in VFP.
