Semi Hiding Form

[DS]

Is there any way to gray out, or shade a form when you open another form
on top of it?
Thanks

form on top of it?

If the second form is set as Modal (that's a property on the Other tab
of the form's property sheet in design view), then no other, non-modal
forms will be accessible when it's open, and their caption bars will be
grayed. Is that good enough for you?

If you set the other form to Pop-Up, then it will not release the focus
until it is closed. Is that what you want?

oops. Dirk is correct. It is the modal property.

I was hoping to gray out or shade the whole form, if that isn't possible
I'll guess I'll have to settle for just the caption bar.

I have that set now. I just want to grey out the form underneath, I
guess it's more of a cosmetic thing.

Sorry, I don't know any way to do that that would be worth the effort.

Thanks, I appreciate the input.
