Thank you! GREAT ideas... Actually I wound off "hiding" the original form. Clears up the clutter on the desktop (shall we say). I have another form that is called from the second, fortunately that is bigger than the calling so those kind of issues are avoided!
FWIW, I seem to have this mysterious block surrounding the combination of "show windw" and modal versus modeless in getting the windows to perform the way "I expect". Call a form from another the calling from should still be there but clicking on it or any of the controls should not execute....
