Thanks again Sergey.

>>I have an application that essentially has one form. It is a touch screen app that I have running as a top level MDI form. In my startup application I have a newobject(form) and then a read events. 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.
