Hi Alan.

I tried your suggestion
DO FORM Owner NAME oForm LINKED WITH 'MODAL' TO lnMyVar NOSHOW
oForm.Show(1)
but I still got the error message "The TO clause can only be used with modal Forms and FormSets".

Now I really do not understand this at all. I tested that code before I posted it and it worked just fine for me in both VFP 7 and VFP 8.
