hi, Thanks to you to look at my problem !
Oups sorry...:-) it is just because you need a main form (let's call it FormMain) calling the Form1 with a Show instruction (not Showodal) from a Button (let's call it ButtonMain) on the Main Form. But take a look at the source here if you want : http://www.crawleyscastingcalls.com/temp/test/ and yes, you're right it is TForm1 (not TForm2). So i my example, because of the Stay on Top Form1 above the FormMain form, the Form1.Deactivate event is fired each time you click on the Button1, or when you click on the FormMain form which is below Form1. I work under XP (sp2) with D7.

I note that your OnClick below refereces Tform1, but your OnDeactivate references Tform2. Perhaps the code below doesn't reflect all the code in your project? Also, since the form is change to StayOnTop, the OnDeactivate event never gets fired...
