FrmOpenEvent is generated when you do a FrmGotoForm or FrmPopupForm. FrmDoDialog doesn't do that, which is why you never see frmOpenEvent. Encapsulate what you want to do at form opening time into a separate function. In your event handler you'd do: case frmOpenEvent: my_initialization_stuff(FrmGetActiveForm()); break; When you call the form via FrmDoDialog, do: frmP = FrmInitForm(FrmTypesForm); my_initialization_stuff(frmP); FrmDoDialog(frmP); -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.rudedog.org/ | ICQ:161669680 UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
