message box hides form

[mordyb]

hi all,

I have an app that I am working on. When I use a msgbox vb hides the form that was open and shows the first form. My code is

msgbox "invalid date", vbokonly, "invalid date"

Does anyone know why this is happening and what work around there is to it?

mordyb, have you read FAQ222-2244 yet?

Is the msgbox called from that form?

Good Luck

I guess I don't understand your question.

The message box is being called from a dialog box. When the message box is called the dialog box is hidden and the main form is shown with the message box over it.

Show the dialog box vbModal over the other form and give it a try.

Good Luck
