I was told to design an interface with large pushbuttons for the main processes. Right now there are for buttons - Enter Doctor Claims, Enter Hospital Claims, Utilities and Exit. Get this, the Utilities button is supposed to call another form with push buttons on it for the main utilities. in other words, form push buttons take the place of menu options, and all behavior is "modal", even though the forms themselves have to be modeless.

Believe me, mine is not to reason why..., so I'm going to try putting the Do Form command as the last command in the click event, and if that doesn't work I'll pass a top form reference to the called form and hide the top form from the called form. That might prove to be handy anyway.

Thanks for all the help.
