Yea. I hear what you are saying and I've been in the documents that came with CW8 and the online index, recipes, etc from PalmSource about this issue.
This issue is probably caused by a bug that I have yet to find in the code. However, I was hoping it was something else. I am using FrmReturnToForm( 0 ) in form B when I am done processing there, so that I can go back to form A. If anyone knows what would cause form A's event handler to not be reinvoked after leaving form B with a call to FrmReturnToForm( 0 ), please let me know.
