Deactivated forms

I instantiate form B from form A and makes A the owner of B. At a certain user action I hide B (tried both .Hide and .Visible = false), then I show it again at another action. When I do it refuses to activate. It displays on the screen but has the 'deactivated-colors' and will simply not respond to any clicks from my mouse

Any suggestions

Kind regards fro

Hi Bevo,

Do not set the Owner property of form B.

Hope this help,
