Hi

I understand that i cant use modal forms when I use MDI. However I did read
somewhere there is a way of doing it by setting the MDI child to false and
using vbmodal. Cany anyone enlighten me how to do this?

Thanks

Sure you can. MDI child forms just can't be modal. "Regular" forms can
still be modal, though. There's no reason for MDI child forms to be modal.
It goes against the whole concept (and purpose) of an MDI app.

Perhaps if you explained why you think you need your MDI child forms to be
modal, someone can provide an alternative.
