.and I don't mean MS Windows.
I've got a Main screen/Form. And, I have that Form calling another Form -
which I want to pop-up to display info. But, I want to control the placement
of that 2nd Form - so it appears near the bottom of the 1st Form.
1st problem is - I set the 2nd Form to "In Top-Level Form" - and I also set
it to Modal. I even set it to "Always on Top". But, although it Does appear
on the top of the main Form - if I move it over - it doesn't stay WITHIN the
Top level Form!
I find this strange - since, I know some point in the past I WAS able to get
something like this working before.
Now - this may also be related to the 1st problem. I want to control the
placement of this 2nd Form - and I'm trying to use the function WParent() to
return the name of the main Form - but, when I do that from within this 2nd
Form and its running - it returns an Empty value.
This should be simple stuff - but, seems I am coming up blank.
TIA,

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)

Tracy's right, you have to have your first form .ShowWindow set as 2- As
Top-Level Form, and your second form .ShowWindow set as 1- In Top-Level
Form.

Guys - it already IS set to that way. As it makes sense already - but,
it still doesn't work.

Kurt,
(WAG) Does the "do form" command have an event of the top level form in it's stack trace?

Hey Fred - not sure what you meant by this. Each Form was created separately
- so, it doesn't seem to make sense about creating them in any particular
order! Or am I missing a point here?
Am going to Look into Tracy's suggestion in 2 minutes...

Create in this case means Instantiate.

OK - my bad. This reply below - I wrote it from home. Now I'm at work - and
I looked at the forms - and the main one - I blew it - it was set to Show
InScreen. So - I just now changed it - but, it didn't help. The 2nd Form
still moves beyond the bounds of the 1st Form. So - even though the 2nd Form
is set to In-Top-Level, and 1st Form is set to AS-Top-Level, it still
doesn't work.
Also, the 2nd problem - that the WParent() function is still returning Empty
when run from within the 2nd Form. Which, I suspect is also related to the
1st problem above.

OK - to clear that up. I run the 1st Form. And, only when an action happens
within that 1st Form - do I then Do the 2nd Form that I want to run Within
the 1st/main form. Does that make more sense? If so - it seems that I am
"Instantiating" them in the proper order.
