Hello Mike,
>First. I have seen other applications where a modal form is displayed and everything behind it fades to gray. I like this effect since it really makes the user focus on that modal form. Kinda like when you try to shut down WindowsXP from the start menu.

Sorry I only have VFP7.
In the samples that comes with vfp there's a "New features in VFP 7"
In that section there's a "Transparent forms" sample.
So it must be there also in VFP9. It'll be up to you to find where they put it.
