>I run a modal form on top of a modeless form. The one on top is smaller. When it is sitting on top of the modeless form, not doing anything, if I click outside the modal form I just get the default beep. This happens no matter where I click off of the modal form.
>
>Now, on the modal form I have a button that does a SQL select against a 300,000 record table and then does some processing in the resulting cursor. Once I click on that button and the processing begins, modality seems to go out the door. If I now click outside of the modal form all screen refresh and activity on the modal form stops, the underlying modeless form title changes to Beyond Gold (not responding). All the while the processing is continuing, but no user, looking at the screen, can tell anything other then it must be locked up.
