Body
This is one of the best findings, at least to me ;) After a lot of digging and direction, I realised that it was beyond me. I could not figure out the 'right' way that would work for the various OSs (at least Windows and Ubuntu). Finally I hired an expert (no, not from any forum site) and paid him to show me this. And with the hope that it may help other developers, I thought it would be best to post it here. Before the answer, I need to give a big thank you to Sertac-Akyuz who showed me that certain things were impossible. I also found through their links that there were some solutions but they did not fit my needs. Now, before the answer, here are my rules I had to stick to. <ol> <li>I should not use Any Windows-specific functions or APIs because I want to be able to port my work between Windows and Ubuntu (at least for now).</li> <li>There no MDI forms in use. Again for cross-platform reasons.</li> <li>There are no 3rd party plugins or products in use.</li> </ol> Now the answer... <pre><code>procedure TfrmSetupTaxes.cmdChangeParentClick(Sender: TObject); var Res : Integer; frmPopUp : TForm; pt: TPoint; begin frmPopUp := TfrmTreePopUp.Create(self); pt := txtSelParentName.ClientToScreen(Point(0, 0)); frmPopUp.Top := pt.y + txtSelParentName.Height; frmPopUp.Left := pt.x; Res := frmPopUp.ShowModal; end; </code></pre> And that's it! The key was in NOT setting the parent property of the popup. Then using ClientToScreen (a function I didn't even dream of using). It does the job beautifully.

1. COI'm glad you've solved your problem, but to be fair, your post does not answer the question - which asks why does a modal-child form disables itself and its parent.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
