Minimize Application rather than child form on Minimize Button
Hi there
I am calling a form using a "frmXXX.show vbModal, me"
from the calling form. I require this form to be modal so that changes made can be reflected in the calling form when the user exits.
My problem:
When the user clicks the minimize button, the top form minimizes and the inactive form behind it stays up and un-moveable.
How can i fix this problem? I was thinking add in code to the minimize button to minimize the *entire* application..but how do i do this?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the small amount of points, I mistakenly gave away 300 on my last question (um..doh.)

If option b is used,can the form be maximized?

Nice i like the B option and thanks for the quick reply!!!
the only thing is now, is when i restore the application by clicking on the taskbar, it brings up the "other" form still disabled and shows my top form as minimized in the corner.
is there anyways of ensuring that the modal form resizes properly on restore (back on top)
TIA

anyone?
I'm trying to use otherform.windowstate = me.windowstate
this only solves half my problem (minimizing) but when i restore from taskbar the modal form does not restore
Thanks!
