Hi James,

Just to clarify, the top-level form is SDI form, not MDI. You're right, it cannot be modal and READ EVENTS is the way to create a 'wait' state.

This is all working fine. Now the problem is I need to check for an INI file and if it does not exist, start a setup form to fill the info in. It seems that a show(1) will not stop a MDI form. Is this correct? If so, is read events the only way to stop the form.
