Lock Focus on the Current Form

[injanib]

Hi all.



I have an unbound form that opens up as dialog box. It is used to write data into the underlying table of the form from which this form is launched. There is a cancel button and a save button. The cancel button simply closes the form. The save button writes the data entered in the form into a table and then closes. What I need to do is to lock the focus on this form, so that it beeps if the user clicks outside this form and keep this form on the top, until either the cancel or save button is clicked.

thanks in advance

Check out the Modal property in the Other tab of the form properties window.

The below quote is from the description in the Help files:

"When a form opens as a modal window, you must close the window before you can move the focus to another object."

Ooops, forgot about you wanting it to beep...although it may. I can't remember.

Whoah! That easy huh! I feel dumb now. That works great. Thank you very much. Yes it does beep. Even if it didn't, I could live without it.

Thanks again.
