Form Switch Help

[lashwarj]

I have created a program that will allow you to dblclick a drop down and it will bring up a form for data entry. When I close this form the main form locks out and you have to exit the work in progress and then reentr it. Is there any code that will allow me to open a form from a field and when I exit the form the main form is not affected.

You can call a form from another form and get back to the 1st form without any 'data work-in-progress' lost!.
Make the second box a MODAL FORM. To do this select the properties of the second form - slect the WINDOW TYPE property and set it to modal.
Hope this helps!

Lashwarj/Ramani,

Remember that if your form's ShowWindow property is set to 2-As Top-Level form, then you can't make it a modal form.

To be modal, a form's ShowWindow property has to be 0 or 1.
