Screen overlayed with Form ... TerryUrb

[TerryUrb]

I am calling a screen built with FP2.5 from a VPF Form. I am calling it with several other Forms and it overlays properly on top of the calling form. For some reason when I am calling with this forms "command" button (on the other forms I am also using the command buttons) the screen is called and overlays underneath the form. If I move the Form up on the screen and hit the button, the screen is working properly but not being overlaid on top of the form.
What am I doing incorrectly? I could redo the screen built with FP2.5, but it is working with the other screen calls. Help would be appreciated.

If this is a problem with FoxPro 2.5 then you might get more answers in the forum for older versions of FoxPro:

Yes, we have had to build most of our screens into new Forms, but some of the Screens work as long as they are simply boxes with writing in them, which is true in this case. Also in this case, the screen is showing on top of the Form on 5 other Forms, which is what we want, but under the Form in question which we want to display on top of the Form.

Terry,

Is it possible that one or other of the forms have their AlwaysOnTop or AlwaysOnBottom set to .T.?

If so, change it to .F. and see what happens.

I tried the changes, but there is no difference. I am presently looking at the other forms to see if there are any differences between the forms as to why this one form will not allow the window to open on top of the form.

ok, I made a "test" form and called with both forms. The one shows the form on top and the other is underneath, the same as when I call the screen. Does this give us any clues?

Ok, here is the solution: Desktop must me set to .F. and it works. Thanks for your help Mike
