Window Object

[Keeper00]

I have a problem with a window object being released. I have a main window open, with another window, which is modal in the top form. This second window calls another window that is modeless. I need to Hide or Deactivate the second window, so when the user closes the third window, the second window is activate and is on top. The problem is when I come back to the second window, the object for the window is gone. How do I preserve the second window's object to be used again?

Unless you are explicitly releasing it, it should still be around somewhere. Check your code and make sure you're not doing something like Form2.Release somewhere.
You should just be able to do a Form2.Hide and DO FORM Form3 in a command button. Then when Form3 is released, do a Form2.Show.

Concur with DSumm. It should still be around unless you are releasing it. Did you try ACTIVATE WINDOW mywindow

myWindow is the name of the form.

I have checked all of my code and stepped through it in debug. I do not have any release commands on that second window. The object for the window is present until it reaches the read events line of code from the screen 1. At that time the object is lost. Is there a way to copy to the object to a temporay object and then restore that object when the second window is activate again?
