Tracy,

I just tried your suggestion of:

SHOW WINDOW (Form2.Name) IN (Form1.Name)

However - I got an error. I'm sure I am NOT trying it properly. This is how

I ran it:

SHOW WINDOW (BROWSE_PO.scx) IN (pur108_test.scx)

However, for that Form (BROWSE_PO.scx) - if I never ran the DO - how can it

have been loaded into VFP? Previously - from within the Form

(pur108_test.scx) I was calling the 2nd Form this way:

DO FORM BROWSE_PO WITH TRIM(XPONO) TO XPONO

So - do I need to run that SHOW WINDOW command from WITHIN that 2nd Form?

Man - I sure hope I am not coming off sounding Totally Clueless!

Otherwise - its time for me to get back to doing RapidPrototyping and just

finally Quit doing VFP...

:-)

-K-

Kurt,

Is the first form the active and set as a Top-Level form?

The second forms Top and Left will be relative to the window it exists in.

Short of that, you can use SHOW WINDOW (Form2.Name) IN (Form1.Name)
