Does your code use forms in an application loop? I am having a bit of trouble with getting the form to stack up properly when I displaying another. As far as I know the two examples uses a single instance of a form which is discarded immediately on exit. If you have even a small code sample I wouldn't mind reading it! -- -- Harishankar (http://harishankar.org http://literaryforums.org) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
