Form1.Show vbModeless

I believe this will work. Run this for the form you want to allow users to work while its in the background.

I thought this the default state for any form load but maybe not?

I think you must use vbModal Const, instead of vbModeless
Form1.Show vbModal

thanks for the quick replys, i was able to do this through just using the .showdialog instead of .show

thanks
