I think the functionality you want will come from understanding the program flow with modal and modeless forms. When calling a modeless form, the procedure that called it finishes its course as soon as the form.init finishes running. Calling a modal form transfers control to the form that was called, and the calling code does not run its course until the modal form is released. Does that get you closer to what oyu want to do?
