Actually, I was joking when I originally wrote it. But after doing some looking on MSDN, the definitions I've seen of a modal forms (VB, and C++) indicates that focus cannot go to another form until the modal form is closed, unless the form is a child of the modal form (which means it is modal, too).

So, I'm not so sure it will work in VB or C++. If you do try it in VB or C++, please let me know the results.

According to Michel, this has not changed in VFP8. The form is still treated as being truly modal.

My goal is not to prove you wrong here. You posted an interesting situation, and I saw it as a chance to learn something, and hopefully help you in the process.

I need to head out of here...I hope you find a way to solve your problem.
