Try putting the following procedure in another 
database and using it to open your problem 
database.

Local folder,file,type
OpenFileDialog folder,file,type,""
if file = "" stop endif
OpenSecret  folderpath(folder) + file
Window file + ":Secret"
OpenSheet

It opens the database to the data sheet, without 
running the .Initialize. If the problem is that 
the .Initialize is trying to run with a procedure 
window in front, this should fix it.
