Subject Re: Form closing when idle From Mustansir Ghor <mustan31@hotmail.com> Date Mon, 21 Jun 2021 15:42:38 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Dear Mervyn Sir The findinstance() works well and did the job. But yet another issue came up. The readmodal form that was opened by menu, does not reset the time of mainform hence making it (mainform) to close even if one is working on the readmodal form. Is there anything that can be done.
