Malcolm, Check in the Parent form that you haven't got the AlwaysOnTop property set.
Otherwise it should work no problem even if you don't use the "Name loFrm" reference Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions Sent: 17 May 2007 13:34 To: Profox Subject: 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.
