Subject Re: modal form From Gaetano <gaetanodd@hotmail.com> Date Fri, 21 Aug 2020 09:08:07 +1000 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Lee, I think it was just a typo/oversight, your original code did not include the "super::" portion. That's probably why it didn't work function readModal       this.modal = true    // set your modal flag       //super::readModal() // calls the normal dBASE readModal method       return readmodal()     // have seen this being the norm --- the above last line was probably meant to read "return super::readmodal()" I'll try that, thanks! Cheers, Gaetano.
