Carlos,

I don't think you will succeed at this one because;

you hit the button in the modal form
the click code runs and executes the non-modal form
the click code completes and focus is again in the modal form
the modal form will NOT give up focus to the non-modal form

The only solution is to pass a parameter to the non-modal form that tells it to make itself modal this time by changing the windowtype property in the init.
