Input Problem

When you show the dialog form, call the ShowDialog() method, passing the parent form as a parameter. When you want to unload the dialog form, use formname.DialogResult = DialogResult.X, with X being Cancel, or Ok or whatever button the use pressed. This will automatically return control back to the calling form, and you can then continue processing based on the .DialogResult of the dialog form... HTH Regards KevinT

Make it a DialogBox
