>I have an ActiveX DLL created in VB6 that contains UI forms to be displayed via automation. When calling the DLL to open a form, I'm limited to only displaying forms that are modal. Is there a way around this? TIA.

What is the syntax you use to open this form? Just a SWAG, but if this is a SHOW method, try passing 0 as a parameter. Heck, try passing 0 anyway. Without additional info about the DLL, I doubt you can get much help without documentation from whoever created the DLL.
