    Try

    opening the form as vbmodal from the first form.

    Code:
    form2.Show vbmodal

    hey

    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

    Nick

    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...
