Crash2100, I don't have a Form1 to start with.
I'm trying to do this:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Form2 As Form
Set Form2 = New Form
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Crash2100,
msgbox "hello"
is quite modal
msgbox "hello"
is quite modal
msgbox is not modeless. is it necessary a form?, could'nt be other control instead (a picture box in example)?
If you need a very basic window, you may achieve what you need via API:

Can't you just create the form in your project at design time, then modify the message and whatever else you want at run time, then display it modelessly?

what is modeless?
vbmodeless means no modal, which is the behaviour of a window that indicates that you could continue working with other windows in the application. Just remeber that msgbox are modal, until you close it, you can't do anything else with the app that shows one of them.

Ok let's try this .....
how bout some message boxes with timer's. Sites, ideas, etc.
Baiscally what I'm doing is creating a control that allows me to shut down an application on a server. The Control works just fine except for 1 sticky point. If I display a messagebox saying that the application will close in 30 seconds, the user must first hit the ok button to instantiate the timer. If I instantiate the timer before the messagebox it still waits for a response from the messagebox.
