LISA G. The order (typically and dependent on if you use CreateObject vs Do Form) is Load, Init (after all the form objects are created. The objects INIT fires first.), SHOW, Activate, GotFocus. This info is also available in more detail in the Help file or MSDN. To experiment, place Messagebox("{The event name}") in each event and run the form.
