I have a DHTML application running on a WEB server. When the user clicks submit a database is updated with a record on a network drive. I am doing a SHOW to call up a separate form when they click SUBMIT, so the user can see a relevant piece of information from the database record. When I try this I get the following message :

'Non modal forms cannot be displayed ni this host application from an activex dll, activex control or property page'.

Can anyone tell me if :

(i) I am doing something wrong (probably !)
(ii) This cannot be done this way
(iii) An alternative way to show a form with a message on it

Any help much appreciated.

You can show the form as modal:

form.show vbModal

Yep that did it.

I was almost there. I had a comma before 'vbmodal'. Doh !!

Thanks again.
