Pausing a form to wait for another form to be closed?

Anyone know how to do this?

Try

opening the form as vbmodal from the first form.

Code:

---

form2.Show vbmodal

---

hey,

When you open the form you want to pause, open it like so:

Code:

---

  Load Form2
  Form2.show vbmodal, me

---

VbModal tells VB that the Form2 must be closed before Form1 gets focus back. Me is a reference to Form1

hope that helps

If the forms are "related", that is one loads/shows the other you can do this:

FormA shows the next form:

formB.show vbmodal, me

Form B will not appear and form A will be "paused" until Form B is unloaded.

Look in on-line help for better descriptions of vbModal...
