Peter

That is what I would expect.  My settings for the parent form are 
Top-level form, Desktop = .T. and AlwaysOnTop = .T.

I have actually tweaked the code to deal with childform exists but not 
visible:

    IF NOT WEXIST("ShowData")
        DO FORM ShowData WITH THISFORM.TargetForm,"aShowData"
        THISFORM.ChildForm = ShowData
    ELSE
        IF NOT WVISIBLE("ShowData")
            SHOW WINDOW ShowData
        ENDIF
        THISFORM.ChildForm.Refresh(THISFORM.TargetForm,"aShowData")
    ENDIF

I'm very happy with this

Cheers

Paul
