How can I show a modal child form in a MDI app?

[gadgetguy1111]

Hi,

I'm passing the values of a recordset to another form which has to be shown modally so that the user can react to it before I move to the next record.

The trouble is that vb doesn't allow forms to be shown modally in a MDI app.

I have used timers on the parent form (disabling the timers initially) so that the child form can remotely enable the timer on the parent form as a workaround for my other forms that require the child forms to be shown modally.

Anyone has any other workarounds?

Help very much appreciated cos I more or less have to display this form modally. The timer trick don't work here as the show statement is in the middle of a do loop. I'm using the loop to move through a recordset.

thanks

just use a normal modal form which is a copy of the mdi child form. Transfer the data into your mdi child form when you close the normal form.
