Make main form inactive while child is active.

I have a program that has a menu that pulls up a new form.  The main form has a timer that fires every "n" minutes checking for a condition on the PC.  The new form comes up and accepts input, but when you click on the exit button, it won't exit until the delay timer in the main form fires.  How can I make the main form inactive while the child  form is active?

Further research turned up a solution.
Why not use a regular timer instead of a loop?...
