Make it Wait window NOWAIT so it doesn't hang up waiting for you to dismiss the wait window.
Is the Wait staement in your Init() or Load() code, or somewhere basic so that it fires before the window is fully loaded?

It has been quite a while since I had to deal with this and I recall that one option was to setup a public variable in the LOAD() of the form like this:
public oForm
>oForm = this
