Should be fixed somewhere in the step to 1.1, but using a global boolean outside any sub did fix it for me. global hasrun as boolean sub importCSVfromCommandline(file as string) dim typ as string typ = left(FileNameoutofPath(file),2) msgbox file + " : " + typ importCSV(file, typ) end sub sub importCSV(file as string, typ as string) if hasrun = FALSE then hasrun =TRUE else exit sub end if ... This way it *did* work. I will give this a try and let you know.. Well, that was a fast fix. You said the "global boolean" and I simply changed my variable from a boolean to an integer global isInOnOpenAgain as integer sub onOpenDocument .......... if  isInOnOpenAgain > 0 then   ............   isInOnOpenAgain = 0 else   isInOnOpenAgain = 1 endif Works without a  problem now, and leaving the test in this order offers a rather kludgy, almost, fix to the drag and drop of forms issue. Doing that does call this just once, which leaves the variable set to 1, but then the next Base file to open only hits it twice but only enters the work function once...and sets it back to 1 again on the second call. For now I can live with this as a known bug in my library till I can learn enough about the API to try and determine when I am being called from the drag and drop mechanisim. So the last setp is to change the Frame that is about to be displayed, with the Base document in it, to hidden. Thanks Andrew 'Drew' Jensen
