Hi Bill

But when you click on the taskbar button you programmatically set AlwayOnBottom back to .F., and .AlwaysOnTop. back to .T. - or whatever.

I goof with these quite often when, say, a modal form calls print preview, the preview would be behind the form (sometimes I disappear the form - depends on context).

Then there's the .Zorder() method to consider?
