Hi Bob,
Thanks for the extra info on Show(). I intend to use this form to enter a string to search a grid. I hope with a modal form and movable the user can move the form out of the way and type a search string in and click on the update button and refresh the grid without closing the modal form. The user then can close the modal form when a search is as the user needed...

Thanks
