Jeffrey,

>I'm trying to get a menu to show up along with a form in the background. But I can open up mulitple forms by selecting the menu options (which I do not want to do.) Is there anyway around this? Here's a piece of my main code that calls up the form and menu.

One way is to make the called form modal. When such a form is launched it's not possible to access the menuitems again until you release the form.

However, i should point out that this behaviour is not common. Normally applications should able to open multiple 'documents'. Only if some action has to be done first you should use a modal form.

A great reference on this subject is the book "About Face" of Alan Cooper.
