Eric,
>I have a modal form. I want to set it up so that when the user clicks anywhere ouside that from it automatically closes. Can I do this? If so, how? I tried to use the deactivate and lostfocus events of the form, but it didnt work.
The method would work with a non-modal form.
If You would make it non-modal and put Thisform.release in the deactivate-event that should be "like" modal and behave as you want.
HTH
