If your form and the editor overlap on screen, dBASE is behaving correctly  
in bringing the selected one to the top.  After all, you couldn't very  
well make changes in the designer to objects that are covered by the  
editor and vice versa.  If your screen is big enough you can move the  
editor so that it doesn't cover the open form.  That way they will both  
stay visible no matter which has focus.

There isn't, as far as I know, a way of preventing the editor from closing  
when you've made changes in it and then pass focus back to the form in the  
designer.  This is not, of itself, a bug but it's something that could be  
placed on the wish list.
