>Hi this is BEllis's son i am programming my first visual basic program and im trying to write a system modal so i can lock people out of anything until they type in a password. If anyone can help me please help. I have tried regular vbmodal and it didn't work so please help.

When programming VB for Windows 3.1, we had a vbSystemModal. This setting exist no more and was not working on Win95/NT.

Don't try to lock up an entire computer to add security to your application.
