Lee,

A top level form is always modeless regardless of the WindowType setting. Being a modeless form the program will continue execution of your code directly after the oForm.Show statement. What you will need to do is include a READ EVENTS statement after that to tell VFP to process events. CLEAR EVENTS will clear the READ EVENTS. See the VFP help for more info.
