What works for me is having one form (call it mainform) and have buttons on that call the other forms using the showmodal method. Hope that helps...

I sent you one a couple of days ago however, I spelled your name wrong so I don't think you ever recieved it. Sorry. The number for the Leather Factory is 817-496-4874. The hours of operation are M-F 8a-5p. However after hours you can leave a message and from what I understand they are pretty good about returning your call.

What you do is just enter the following text in the on-click event of the button: form2.show; form2.setfocus; that's all. But is is all there in the manuals (written and online).
