Here's an easy one (I think).

I want to show a "Searching..." dialog form when a user finishes a search form. At first my app's main form (called from Sub Main) was called as a modal form, then VB told me that I couldn't show a modeless form from within a modal form (the "Searching...." needs to be modeless so my query can execute and I don't want to move the execute code into the search screen - I want it to be generic).

The code goes something like this

Sub Main
    Dim frmFSplash As frmSplash
    Dim frmFMain As frmMain
        
    '// Load search screen - faster than
    '// loading/unloading all the time
    Load frmSearching
    
    '// Display splash screen
    Set frmFSplash = New frmSplash
    frmFSplash.Show vbModal
        
    '// Show main form
    Set frmFMain = New frmMain
    frmMain.Show ' NOW IT'S SHOWN AS A MODELESS FORM
End Sub

From frmFMain, the user can launch a modal form to fill in the search params then click OK. The control then goes back to the main form (frmFMain) which show's the search form, executes the query, then hides the search form in that order. This appears to work fine, BUT when I exit the main form (it's modeless now, remember), my code goes into never-never land. It never goes back to Sub Main. How can you make your main form modless so other modeless forms can be shown in/on it?

PLEASE HELP!!!
