SYMPTOMS

In Visual FoxPro 5.0 or 5.0a, adding a Threed(3D) Frame ActiveX control to a modal Form causes the modal form to disappear when you run the form.

Assuming the WindowType property is set to 1-modal, change the Visible property of the 3D Frame ActiveX control to false (.F.) at design time then set the Visible property of the 3D Frame control to .T. in the Activate event of the form.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
