Gunnar,
Is this report wizard somthing you wrote? If so, it is hard to give much help without knowing more details about it.
Here is an observation. Since your first form is modal, you cannot have a form below that level that is not modal. I would make the first form modeless, and see if that helps you in your diagnoses.
>Ok, maybe someone can tear that tree out which is standing right in front of me.

>I have an app which builds a menu, then issues a ‘read events’ and on the menu selection initiates a form with ‘do form…’. The forms are modal. From the form you can press a ‘print’ button which hides the current form and brings up a ‘report wizard’ by createobject().
>
>So far so good. Now my problem: on this report wizard my preview is an editbox on which you can right click and choose a ‘find’ option which brings up the fox find dialog – and that’s where my problem starts.
>
>If I display the report wizard with .Show(1) (modal) the wizard works fine, the find dialog initializes fine, but I am unable to click on the ‘Find’ button. If I display the report wizard with .Show(2) (modeless) the wizard of course releases itself immediately after the activation.

>I tried a 2nd read events after the CreateObject() but that doesn’t seem to work either (probably because of the 1st read events after the menu) .
>I tried to find the class for the find dialog to manipulate and that instead, but can not find it.
>
>Any ideas – HELP

>I appreciate your help and thoughts.
