i have a set of tiny, easy to use routines that accomplish this. they are
modeled after the Win32 APIs for modal dialogs.
FrmPopupModalForm
FrmEndModalForm
e-mail me directly if you want a copy of them (i've posted them on this
forum a couple times in the past, and on the news.massena.com newsgroups a
few times as well).
