OK - understood re:Show Window command changes - am attempting that right now to see if it can work for me. Normally I need to DO a Form. So - do I still DO the Form - then run the Show Window command WITHIN the Activate method of the 2nd Form that is called?

Yes, instanciation order is what I meant by create order. As far as the SHOW WINDOW command, your using the file name, you need to use the form.Name property content, whatever that is. You probably don't have a variable reference to the form, and that's why you get the error. See DO FORM form2 LINKED I think it is, but I've never had to use it.
