I'll respond but I'm on my way out so if I don't respond until Monday - I'm not being unsociable :-)

ShowForm() simply shows the form, the Form then waits for the user to click a Next or Cancel button, when a user has clicked the button it will call FormRepond() on the same class that has ShowForm(). I then want ShowForm to continue (the line after it shows the form) and return a value. So ShowForm has to show a form and return a response, whilst keeping the form alive!

What I'm really getting at is that I need to wait for a response (from the user) but without using a Modal form, I just want to display it, and wait for a response - with a Modal form I have to wait until it is released - and that ain't no good.

Hope that makes more sense.
Thanks

Or something that might take a long time? What will .ShowForm() do once it determines that .FormRespond() has finished? And what is calling .FormRespond(), the form or the .ShowForm() method?
