Jan,
Interesting! It sounds like I have to change something to get this to work. Right now I bring up a form from an EEP based on two temp tables. The form has a header and a scrolling region. What would I do differently to make the MDI work? The code is quite long otherwise I would add it here.

You can do that but you must realize that an MDI form stands by itself. So any code does not stop for an EDIT USING or ENTER USING. So if your code has sections that relies on information from a form it will probably fail. That does'nt mean you can't do it. You just have to change where it happens.

Or do I have to do something with the AS alias and SETFOCUS? AS alias Allows the user to specify a name for this instance of the form . This option is used in conjunction with the MDI option so that the user can programmatically specify the form with the SETFOCUS command. If I have to use the SETFOCUS and alias, what would the proper syntax be? Jim
