Can I keep the Focus of a Form?

[ShaneBrennan]

I have a form, that I wish to keep active until a button called cmdExit is pressed. there are other forms on the screen - but I don't want this form to hide behind them. In a way I'm looking for something like a msgbox where you MUST press the OK or CANCEL button to progress.

Anyone got any suggestions.

Thanks

Shane. Shane Brennan

Shane,
In form properties set vbmodal = yes.

Thank you very much. Been looking for a way to do that for ages.

I wondered what the "modal" property was or what it was used for.

What does it actually mean.

I've used this in Visual Basic and I think that's where it started. It's more powerful there because you can make a control modal. i.e. if a textbox is left blank and a user tries to tab off it won't let them.
