Forms

[Zimbozubble]

Is the following possible:

1. Open a form that has a button on it
2. When you click on the button it opens another form that behaves like an input box (it asks the user for information)
3. When the user has supplied the information the second form closes
4. The rest of the on-click actions of the first form are carried out.

So, what I'm trying to do is get the first form to wait until the information has been supplied by the user, via form 2, before it continues with what it's supposed to do!

Hope this makes sense!!!

You can open the second form (the one that acts like the inpubox) as modal

' in the first form
private Sub Command1_Click()
'
' do some stuff
'
Form2.Show 1 ' 1 means modal
'
' this will be executes as soon as Form2 unloads
'
End Sub

The best way to escape a problem, is to solve it.

yes

If you show a form modally, the code after that show command is not run until the form is hidden or unloaded.
i.e.

'pre show form code
frmInput.Show vbModal
'post show form code
