Change form from Modal to non Modal briefly is based on business
rule, but for technical issues, the best is to use Modal, if you use
non Modal, you can not control what is on, like for Database TQuery
closed or not, by the way, every form showed will allocate memory, of
course for today's computer this should not be an issue. But control
TQuery is very important.
