Question about using Modeless forms.

We have 2 very large systems. The one I am working on now currently has 196 forms. The current wisdom seems to be that most if not all forms should be modeless. However, I can find no way to do that in a system this large. As I read the help file and with the programming attempts we have made here, there is no way to start a modeless form once you have run the READ EVENTS. Since I cannot load 200 forms at the start of the program, that seems to leave out any modless forms except for status windows where a process is running such as a reindex. We do have a startup screen that is modless that also serves as the system object holding many system settings.

I was just wondering if I am missing something here or if anyone has any ideas on this. Thanks.
