Hi Chris,

>Yep - it would be OK - the long story is that I originally had the app running in the vfp screen and the modal form restores OK in that environment but recently I made some "improvements" (!)

never change a running system ;-)

> I moved over to the app running as a toplevel form with screen=off in the config.fpw - they have had this modal form problem since then.

I noticed that as well some time ago ... modal forms behave different when they're shown in front of the _SCREEN or a TL window regarding several aspects.

>If I disabled the minimise button they should soon get into the habit of just moving the modal form so I guess it would be OK - thanks for your help

I know it's sometimes hard for users to break old habits, but finally they're getting used to our "improvements" :)

Have a nice day,
Armin
