Want to activate child form launched in parent (but keep parent open)
frmParent form has code that does a DO FORM frmChild NAME loFrm and then I do a loFrm.Activate, but the frmParent stays in the foreground and the frmChild is in the background. I want frmChild to get front focus. 'frmChild.Activate' didn't do it...what would? -- Michael J.

Malcolm, Check in the Parent form that you haven't got the AlwaysOnTop property set.

Not sure if this will help, but here it is. Try it after loFrm.Activate() ACTIVATE WINDOW (loFrm.Name) Also, you might want to add NOSHOW to the DO FORM command. -Original Message- From: MB Software Solutions Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 10:51 AM Richard Kaye wrote: How about loFrm.Show instead?

You could change the child form to a form class instead.
