Actually, I have rarely (actually never) had an application that
used anything other than MODAL forms and have never had anyone
unhappy with that. Most of my clients like SIMPLE ... and so do I.
However, I have always used a READ EVENTS statement and an actual
menu but always used modal forms. If this works ... it will open
up another option for me for small (and maybe even big) applications.

>If you application lends itself to this type of design, go for it. However, some users may not like not being able to do multiple things within your application at one time. However, like I said, if your application requires that they finish one task before starting another, it's great.
