Yes, put the Property Stay_on_top "ON" command in the after start eep of the second form as the first line.
The put the Property Stay_on_top "Off" command in the after start eep of the second form as the second line. The logic is that the first line will cause the form to be brought to the top, but then allow subsequent PAUSE commands to pop up on top of it. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Belisle" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 7:12:57 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: form behind form ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Belisle" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 7:12:57 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: form behind form Bob, Let me walk through this to make sure I understand. I start my main menu. I then call this form from a bit button. Would the stay_on_top code be in the On after start EEP of the second form? If yes, then how do I turn it off? Where would the code that turns it off go?

However, you might try setting the stay_on_top ON in your form eep, then immediately set it back to OFF. This should cause the form to startup on top, but not cause your PAUSE commands to be hidden behind it afterwards. I have not really tried this approach as I embed the command into the Pause statements when used in most cases. -Bob ---- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Belisle" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 6:29:56 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - form behind form When bringing up a form from another form, the new form sometimes goes behind the first form. I know I have seen this on the list before but I need refreshing. I know I can use the PROPERTY RBASE_FORM STAY_ON_TOP 'ON' command. Questions: Do I use this in the On after start EEP? I tried that but then my PAUSE popups did not show during use of the form. Is there some other way to control the form so it does not get “stuck” behind the first form? James Belisle
