Ok, I think I see what the problem is now. In order for the second form to be limited to and show up in your first form, the DO FORM second has to be issued by the first form in one of its methods, like form1.GotFocus, or from a command button. You can't issue the DO FORM in the form1.Init, .Load, or .Show as the form doesn't really exist yet (LISAG - Load, Init, Show, Activate, GotFocus).
I just tried it it should work in the .Activate or .GotFocus of the first form to do a DO FORM second.
