Modal forms

[itcsjh]

Hello All,
I'm trying to create a 'Start button' style menu, I'm displaying 'cost centers' from an Access DB (using DAO to populate) on the menu. I'm creating the menu using forms in VB. My problem is that the menu is being launched from a modal form, which means the menu its self has to be modal(?). This gives me a problem in re-creating the functionality of the 'Start bar' menu. To be more specific, when I click off the menu, i would like it to unload (as the start bar menu does), but because its modal, it just beeps at me!

Any thoughts / ideas??? Am I going about this completely the wrong way???

I would think that using Images for your menus will be easier. When you click off the menu, just set their Visible property to False and when they click the menu, set their Visible property to True.

Don't talk to me about f@~*ing 'Cost Centres'. I have had enough of them . 8 months of programming on the bloody things.
