>>>I have an app that shows a splash screen (as-top-level form, with Screen = Off in my config.fpw file)...
>>>then when it's done, the login screen pops up (also a top-level-form). I've set always-on-top to .T., yet the user still has to click on the form (which is acutally a vcx) to be able to type in their passowrd, the form never gets focus.
