The child form is modal. It's inside a top-level form that is minimized. It's running by itself in the backgroud, but when something needs the user's attention, I need to un-minimize the top-level form in order to notify the user.
I dont' see what that has to do why my variable changes from object to logical inside my method().

>>What I'm doing here is testing to see if a form's parent is minimized, and if it is set it back to normal. If the form doesn't have a parent, then it's ignored. The fact that I'm calling it from within a form by definition means a form is open. The fact that the forms collection has toolbars is immaterial.
