Hello Peter.

As we all know <g> or should know, with CreateObject(..) an objects Visible property is .F. and the documentation might be faulty.

No. The documentation is not faulty. Calling the form's show() method does indeed make it visible if it isn't. So something else is going on here.

Anyway, setting Visible = .T. before Show seems to solve the problem.

I have absolutely no idea why that would make a difference. What else is going on here that you haven't told us < s > ?
