I think your answer is to open the form with a dialog windowmode. This is the 6th argument that you can specify in an OpenForm statment.
DoCmd.OpenForm "FormName",,,,,"acDialog" I believe this "freezes" the code in the calling form until the dialog form is closed.

Is this what you are looking to do? Thanks Bob, and .. Yea .. that's what I'd like to do, but all the code in the click event gets run before the the DoCmd.OpenForm line that launches the new form, even if sequentially the code actually follows the DoCmd line. I think that's pretty much how all the windows-basics work. The result is that when Form-B closes, Form-A resumes at the end sub point of the Form-A click event. I also tried it with creating a new sub and moving the DoCmd.OpenForm line to the new sub, and then call the new subroutine from within the Onclick event. The result is the same.
