Multiple Forms Help

Ok, here's my basic setup:&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a main form which is modal and top level.&nbsp;&nbsp;It controls everything pretty much.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I click a button, the process begins.&nbsp;&nbsp;In a .prg file I want to do another form for user input.&nbsp;&nbsp;That second form is also modal.<br><br>The problem is that when I do the second form, the process continues to run while that form is up, which I don't want.&nbsp;&nbsp;I want the process to wait for the user to click a button to continue.<br><br>I tried to do exactly what the MSDN help said:<br><br>1. Make sure the form is modal.<br>2. In the unload event of the form, return the value you <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;want.<br>3. to call the form: do form #name# to #variable#<br><br>As far as #2 goes, I added a custom property to the form and assign/return that when the user clicks the done button.<br><br>When I run the program, it gets to the point where I have #3 and it says the form must be modal.<br><br>IT IS MODAL...IT COULDN'T BE MORE MODAL!!<br><br>thanks in advance.

What's in your unload event of modal form #2?&nbsp;&nbsp;Here's the PEM's:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>*MyModalForm1<br>.ShowWindow=2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(As Top Level)<br>.WindowType=1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Modal)<br>.cVal=&quot;before&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&& custom form property<br><br>*MyModalForm1.cmdBefore.click()<br>MESSAGEBOX(&quot;Thisform.cVal = &quot; + Thisform.cVal)<br>DO FORM MyModalForm2 TO Thisform.cVal<br><br>*MyModalForm1.cmdAfter.Click()<br>MESSAGEBOX(&quot;Thisform.cVal = &quot; + Thisform.cVal)<br><br>********************<br>*MyModalForm2<br>.ShowWindow=1 (In Top Level)<br>.WindowType=1 (Modal)<br><br>*MyModalForm2.Unload()<br>Return &quot;After&quot;<br></font><br>HTH<br>JohnDurbin<br>

Hey thanks JohnDurbin,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your code and my code are, for all intensive purposes, exactly the same.&nbsp;&nbsp;The one thing that is different is in your MyModalForm2 I have <b>showwindow as 2 (As top level form)</b>.&nbsp;&nbsp;I figured that the user could move it wherever, but I guess they are limited the first form.&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, that worked, so thanks man.
